A very good monoku, treating a valid topic on the 'abusive' list. The clever and meaningful play on words is noteworthy, Jan. Hugs // paul

Very well put Jan. A lot of power in one line! My wife was abused in more than one way in a previous marriage. It makes me so sad to think anyone would have to put up with that sort of thing.
