Why Hippy Bathday, FF! Have a g'd dye! 'ave a tinnie on me, mi old koala.
The poem grew out of a comment you made to Gary B about the 'poisonous
potion' being an 'option'.I don't know if you recognised that 'option' was
an anagram of 'potion' but it set me off.
The poem(?) is about words can you spot the anagrams, homophones,
anagrammatic derivatives, eye rhymes, rhymes, half rhymes, etc, etc ,etc a
bit of fun trying for your birthday. Regards Arthur.

Wonderful words Arthur. They comprise a fine birthday gift, given they were
received on its eve and read on the day.
Thank You.
