    Perfectly concise. A parable in six lines. I read it aloud and liked it even more. Bravo!

    Bob,

    Absolutely hemmed in within your very clever words..Trying to find a way out...Perhaps the cat flap:)

    Best Wishes,
    Eileen:)

    Thank you Bob for all your visits and comments left at my poems. I have been away for a week on vacation in France. Now returning to find my routine:)
