Graham, you have the makings of a great editor! Your restructuring of my Martha piece improves it vastly, giving it a bit of a dramatic build-up (I suspect I'm a bit dyslectic; I had trouble with all that "left foot, right foot" business at ROTC in college).
And, 'hood does make for less ambiguity. I only hear this usage in films and on recordings.
Seldom does the occasion arise to put a moose, an antelope, a porcupine, and a wildebeest in ths same piece of verse.
