I gather they lost, Peter.
Jeri, I should probably apologise for my "Service".. your initial verses were much closer to the real thing. I kinda 'cut to the chase'. A real Robert Service poem would have at least 16 lines of build up before the kiss, and another of the same before the Irish potato got cooked... and much more atmosphere.
Actually, it still needs a confrontation between 'sPaw and Big Mick...which is where Jeri's intro leads...
Blessings,
Barbara
