Cool limerick, Tim. And a great concept writing of the bayou folks and their gumbo. Very funny! by the way, my hair does not grow very fast and I had to cut it all off when bleach destroyed my hair from coloring it several years. I LOVEd being blonde, and long or short, I wouldn't mind magic beans just to make it STAY blonde without ruining my hair! LUv, andrea
