Please accept my apologies, George, but I'm going to have to report this thread as spam: Will Donkey keeps bumping it in an apparent attempt to troll Ash.

I take is that Ash is avoiding that for some reason...

Thanks. It's nothing special, just light verse, but I think it belongs
in the revision. I don't think I'll be replacing "3 a.m." with it,
probably using it to start off the next page; I'd need a short poem to
fill that off, but I could use a limerick; I've written a lot of those,
but they're not well represented in the book. This section, full of
light verse, would be the best place for them.

Yes, again, use them both.

I was just sitting here with Zod looking at my book, and observed a couple of spots in the book where poems of about the size of these would fit nicely in the third printing.

I would, but I'm not trying to tell anyone else what to do. Certainly
not in the interest of a "truce" I've seen no evidence of.
