I always choke up when I read Nash.>


Hi Bill,
I new I woudn`t get that past you.

Messing up the meter deliberately is a different case to just `messing
up`.

Example.
A man who was driving a truck
Was hit in the eye by a wasp
When asked if it hurt he said "Not a bit, it can do it again if it
likes"

I saw long ago the shortest poem I ever encountered.

  Blast furnaces.
I should thinkso. They stinkso.

Happy New Year Bill and Bev

Cheers

Pat
