Gentlemen, please! Let us all get back on track. After all, threads do tend to unravel sometimes.
Daniel’s thread... tasteful evaluations are dependant upon a majorities’ opinion- insects Alan’s thread... Oh! Pooh Would not enjoy Such repast. Or would he? What of honeybees who all do Bee do? And again, Daniel’s in tree where most birds build their homes and procreate. a bird makes do with a nest and… Eggs it. Please pick one for the continuance of our repartee (or use all three if you want)! Larry ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
