Thanks Matt, Jim, Carl and John

I'm going to stick with "shipwrecks" for now, I think. Carl, I see now how you got to pent, though by that point in the poem a tetrameter reading would probably be instinctive. Well, it's a moot point now, I suppose (unless I change it back!)

Thanks John

Hi Matt,

I'm glad you like this.

Are you saying that sometimes a day (i.e. the one with the woman from Michigan) is stranger that the combined strangeness of several (relatively dull?) years?

That's more or less it, yes. Perhaps you are over-thinking (or I'm "under clarifying" ) but you got there! There may be a better line, though. Thanks for giving it some thought.

Thanks again, everyone.
