We pass under oceans through tunnels
And transfer our liquids with funnels
So, why is it so
That in order to row,
We must mount our oarlocks on gunwales?

Thanks for hangin'!

Dear Dana - I apologize for being so silly with you - Your 'Gift' is how you Bop from Gen-Ponds - I so respect that - * Speaking of "Perplexing Language" - If you have a moment please see comments under my 'Swinging on a Star' it would mean so much to me if you have one of your 'sage' inputs on my 'Kvetch' ~ For Better or Worse ~ Jay
