This is good, Richard (and I am not lying); pity about the end rhyme! [Still trying to catch up with people and writes after an enjoyable holiday.] // paul

I took this one out of the contest because I failed to rhyme the end words. I still like the poem irregadless of following the form.

Yes it is the title. For the contest we were asked to have "Write a Footle" as the title.
