A much better version. Thank you Leo.   White coated aphids Sucking sap from blithe plum trees. Hot breeze fans my face. John Revision 23/09/2008 Aphids in white coats. Hot summer's breeze on my cheek. Blithe trees: sap sucking.  SUMMER'S DAY Aphids in white jackets. Hot summer's breeze on my cheek. Footsteps: tread gently. John ·······  ·······Arnfinn

Hi Lori,
I knew you would agree with the rational behind all this. An aphid by any other name an AY-fud. The last line could read thus: Insects: sap sucking Aphids in white coats hot summers breeze on my cheek Insects: sap sucking. Hey, girls. I THINK WE'VE DONE IT! Aphids in white coats hot summers breeze on my cheek Insects: sap sucking. YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHa  John
