Hi Indiana: What fun your Monoku is and the picture is priceless. As kids we used to get down in the dirt and my brother called me knobby knees. That’s when I was 10. Made this a FAV. Nice to meet you.

Hi, Suzanna, poor old Milt's is away now, keeping God entertained, and is sadly missed, Milt's is one of the reasons I don't write as much poetry now, he was a leader in trying out different formats in poetry, I just don't want to let the guy down of what he taught me, Happy New Year . . .

Aw, this is so neat! Thanks, Indiana. I didn't have this boy in mind, but I did have a picture in my mind very much like him. Thank you! Thank you!

No need to thank me, Milt's, more thank you, I do have a photo of my Dad, with clean knees in his kilt, but, I thought this would be more fun, Cheers, for being such a good sport . . . ; )
