Thanks, Peter
I appreciate that. A million appreciative readers might be desired; but I'll settle for one!
As to the spaces... if it's consistent.... I don't know, maybe it's my mail server
Maybe it's me
The lines are certainly spaced. Yet the original I pasted from has no spacing
I usually put 6 pt space after a line to make reading from the typescript easier
I'm fed up with trying mind control. Time to read the manual. If people will bear with me, I may follow this with an experiment. I'd rather you saw the texts as I intend
For the record, you should have received _crying the neck_ 4 paras of 3 lines and 1 of 2

Lawrence,
Thanks for that one. I enjoyed it.
Especially

Incidently,
Your posts seem to come with a line space between each line (to me at least)
Is that your intention, or is it my mail server?

Subject: SNAP Crying the Neck
Standing in the corner of a field,
those who have not harvest-laboured
celebrate the end of necessary work.
There shall be other festivities.
There shall be bread all year.
But these are islands in a drowning.
The roads have been half submerged
in mental and temporal putrefaction.
The past passes our understanding,
bits and pieces which might buoy us,
if gathered and banged together somehow;
visible, and yet quite out of reach
on a current progressing otherwise.
"I 'ave'n", one yells out. Untrue.
