    Thank you for your reply B and Happy Saturday to thee. Truth is relative, subjective and up for grabs. It is entirely contingent upon partisan views whether political, religious or otherwise pretzelized so it gets skewed/chewed/deformed regularly. Sadly. SIGH. :(

    Thank you B. We did. Roger Federer won his 20TH major tennis tournament in Australia at the ripe old age of 36! Hopefully he will repeat last year's astonishing performance and also win Wimbledon this year as he did last year! Happy Monday to thee! :)

    There was a young couple named Kelly
    Now forced to walk belly to belly.
    Because in their haste,
    they used library paste
    instead of petroleum jelly.

    A young lady from South
    Carolina
    strung fiddle-strings 'cross her vagina.
    With certain sized cocks,
    what was sex became Bach's
    Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

    There was a young lady whose chin
    Resembled the point of a pin:
    So she had it made sharp,
    And purchased a harp,
    And played several tunes with her chin.

    LOL!

    The Raven
    by Edgar Allen Poe

    Once upon a midnight dreary
    While I pondered weak and weary
    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore
    While I nodded nearly napping
    Suddenly there came a tapping
    As if someone gently rapping
    Rapping on my chamber door
    T'is some visitor, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door
    Only this and nothing more
