Sublimely simple smoothly sings,
straightforward the lesson brings.

You have written this so well. I loved the alliteration in the first line. And you have managed to write something so well in so few words. wEll done.

You did.
I think that you are much better at this than I am. I like it when you are challenged to say something in a few words. Once I was asked to say in ten words or less something to a lawyer. So I retorted can you sum up anything in ten words or less? -

very impressive. wonder how you control the words!

Nicely alliterative, Bazza. See, you can write short lines and short poems. I see the contest is over so I can't wish you good luck in it. Anyhow, I liked it.
Nice to see you - don't be a stranger round my stuff.
