One thing for sure, I didn't rig it (i.e., the spigot)! Appreciate your enthusiasm for this little ditty, my dear friend. Light and joy, always. ~ Gershon

This is darned cute which a bigot is not but still, that's my story regarding your Epigram and I'm sticking to it. I WILL not ask where the spigot is located (I know, I crawled in the gutter - was once a construction secretary). I had fun. All the best ... CayCay

Hey, I can't tell you (where that spigot is located), CayCay. Couldn't find it anywhere on a blueprint. LOL. :) gw

If only the mute button worked in real life! (really enjoyed Jan's poem too!)

Ah, but in real life have to ignore them, and not give them the publicity they so desperately crave. :) gw

Eight words, and you may drop the mike. ONLY EIGHT WORDS! Wow!

Bill Clinton became President with. ("It's the Economy, Stupid."). His predecessor only needed three. (Read my lips). I'm positively verbose by comparison... Thanks for the encouragement, Caren! :) gw
