Thanks, Janet. Dougsie, I'm glad you like my poem and I appreciate your suggestions, though I wrote this in 1955 and am rather reluctant to change it, especially since I don't care for modern poetry anyway and think the only good poet is a dead poet.
To any others who may have commented, I pasted the thread into Word and had my wife delete your annoying comments so I wouldn't have to read them. But thanks anyway.
