Rapaire, doesn't it feel good to know you are not alone...Now if only I could find someone who read their children the Space Child's Mother Goose and taught them their ABC's using Amphigorey....M is for Maud who was swept out to sea...N is for Neville who died of ennui....I often wondered what impact it had on them when they were small.

Thanks Bill, I had no idea what a Klein bottle was until now, consequently the significance of the rhyme. I want the big one! It would make a great habitrail for my daughter's rats.
