Nathalie,
Some of us might like very much, thank you. And how interesting
that the poem was sent by a girl and made another girl smile.
As a former boy, I am not immune to that egg-salad sadness -
after all I am still searching for the little girl in the department
store who wanted to offer me a candy but not before asking if I was
allergic to chocolate. She disappeared before I could locate my mother's
shoes among the racks of dresses and find out what allergic meant.
That really is a lovely poem.
Thanks again,
Mattis
p.s. where do I seem to remember a line that there should be a special
region in the hot nether clime for people who write in library books?
Is this in a work of fiction or just a comment someone once made on
a mailing list or does it matter?
p.p.s is it true that RMB is really JDS? answer: no.
