Thanks Arthur, You've holed in one. To be precise
North Yorkshire. You're probably right about the
redundancy. I had an alternative ending which became
very complex :genes;Pope Gregory's Angles/angels;
whether the boy would grow up to be a Srebeniza denier
(spellings look strange) since being a holocaust
denier will be out of date by the time he may have
become an academic historian. Poemss have to be more
disciplined I think. cheers and thanks, cara
