The men are buzzing all around. From glen to glen, you can hear the sound. Seventeen and soon to die. It's no wonder, hot women is why. :)

Discrimination...It is not fair that females are not allowed in the choir, Andrea! I can imagine the din caused by a host of cicadas! Regards // PAUL

Fascinating for someone like me, who's never been in a church before. Such vivid imagery! I close my eyes, and I see the painting. Bravo. ~ Gershon
