Never played on the street for money. I doubt I have the strength.
nice ones, these two. that spider one is pretty good.
Oh these are lovely haikus! A wonderful pairing Don! And the Issa haiku spot on. The post is too good.
Yes, Charles, and nobody is getting any younger.
Thanks, Greg.
Aditya! I'll take too good every time.
