andrea - this is wonderful, especially the final couplet - so clever! congrats on the win. by the way, yarmulke is the correct spelling of "yamaka" - good guess, though! (you nailed the pronunciation...)

Speaking of letters - do you know what a zebra is? Answer: 26 sizes larger than an a-bra. This is so entertaining. Got a chuckle. Love, daver
