Auxiris, I admit to being a little careless in reading your first post and a bit flip in commenting upon your "Cheers" closing. I am well known here for going off half-cocked (shut up, Spaw). But I certainly welcome your submission of the verses and your participation in the forum. I have submitted new verses to songs written by other people, myself, usually verses that I have written myself, and I feel the practice is perfectly acceptable. My quibble with these particular verses was that, while fine on their own merits, didn't fit the logic of the song, a prayer that hard times not return, not that they go away.
