Wow, *GREAT* thread, wyswyg (sp?) was a newbie and the Albert and the Lion reminded me tremendously of Pierre from Sendak's Nutshell Library (they drove the lion into town, the doctor shook him up and down, and when the lion gave a roar Pierre fell out upon the floor). Laughed out loud at the cherry joke!

I am also reminded of a boss-related meditation starting with the lovely woods... the gentle brook... feel the cool water... look into the stream... see the face of the boss whose head you are holding under the water...

And oh, can I sing limericks for hours too. Troll was probably familiar with Oscar Brand, at least that's where I learned the iambic pentameter one.

Gonna stop commenting on the thread itself, thank you SO MUCH Helen, y'all go read it.
