Enjoyable by the very young and very old alike.<BR/><BR/>I suppose we have all met someone like "Dad" at some point. Some us might even become one, whether we are aware that it happens or not.<BR/><BR/>You have a simple whimsy about you. Keep it coming! I find your work to be refreshing, especially as compared to the often dense, obscure writings which are commonly considered today to be "good" or "modern."<BR/><BR/>Also, I think it is wonderful that you have been able to get these published in a volume. <BR/>Take care, and thanks!Anonymous Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259024805878478537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702442.post-1115491983997210022005-05-07T19:53:00.000+01:002005-05-07T19:53:00.000+01:00Roger, per your question about the "Anonymous" nam...Roger, per your question about the "Anonymous" name.
