I am indebted to you MMario , please accept my thanks. Five verses I didn't have.They don't scan too well but with my abilities a simple rewrite will have them perfect.It appears that I was right after all. This Mudcat thing , if used correctly , really works! Thanks to all the contributors to this thread , some of whom were mildly amusing and others most insultingly forthright and indeed probably no more than I "apparently" deserved. But why oh why the bad language? it was largely gratuitous and may have caused offence to the more gentle spirits who read it.
