Doug was spot on with the 'is's - but we all have different accents, don't we, so often how I'd say it is vastly different to how others hear it. I have an Irish friend who writes fairly prosaic lines at times but when you hear him read them, they sing like angels (he's an Irish devil, of course). But it's a 'moving' poem in more ones than one. Andrew On 24 May 2012 22:46, Douglas Barbour <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Well, that's supposed to be the way to snap, ken, so good on ya.
