   it was so bad, not to mention google getting annoyed too, making it all messed

   think i should go back to the poetry workshop. i'm sending myself back to the   
   remedial group, ha ha ha, just kidding, personal opinion and all!!! :-) )

   > Didn't your poems a couple of weeks ago also mention eggs? And this one is   
   the apotheosis of eggdom. (John Lennon, the Egg man, probably smiled in his   
   grave.)   
      
   Hmm, just reviewed the Poems for April 20 and there's not one egg mentioned in   
   them. Scratch my "You and your eggs comment." (But  Eggs Without a Soul itself   
   still must have gotten John Lennon smiling.)
