[John Whitworth]

I wrote a poem which began

My father's ghost was wont to walk
With Captain Ill and Martial Stalk

and went on for another ten lines or so.

Can anyone remember it. I retrieved it earlier today but then lost it.

John,

You frequently start threads of this nature. You can't rely on others to operate a filing system for you.

Sorry to sound harsh, but the solution to your problem is entirely in your own hands. Do you know how to do a ''Search'' of your Word documents? You can't have many files that contain the words Martial Stalk.

John, I did a thorough search and was unable to find it. Frustrating indeed, because I want to know more about the ghost in question.

[Michael Cantor]

I wrote one which began:

Let us go then, me and you
when the evening is laid out against the sky

or something like that, and goes on for many lines, and, like John, I can't find it. Would you all mind checking your files to see if I sent it to you by mistake? If you find it, and I get it published, there will be a modest reward.

A+ post right there.

Frequently is a bit harsh, Jayne. But why shouldn't I? And it appears Aaron Novick has found it though I can't open what he sent. However, I will do what you said, if I haven't done it already.

JAaron Novick, what do I do to activate what you sent?

Aaron Poochigan. Yes, I too am intrigued.
