If mod’s dont like rhymes in their yard, yet, moving a thread is too hard, You should “click it” and “stick it” not “dock it” and “lock it” and send us an " I’m sorry" card. ---

There once was a lurker, Sperfur, her poems, they did rhyme, thats fer sure. The mod’s did attack her (You’d of thought she a hacker!) But, her prose, it will always endure… Keep up the good work!!! [She’s a poet, but don’t know it. Tho her toes, they do so show it, because they are such Longfellows:D] ---
