Poem 149 of 230 is Holy Writ? Why do you keep citing your own doggerel, David?   Well, I answer my own question:   because to you, it is Holy Writ and the only "authority" you have for your pathetic ideas. A bit of a God complex?

P. S. As far as the spelling of "practise/practice" is concerned, you'd be better off if you spent less time quibbling about how it should be spelled and much more time doing some.
