What a marvelous twist of words to give meaning to a thought. Whitman one of my favorite poets this holds a special meaning. The question is what type of grass was on Whitman's mind? (or rather the knees of his mind) A most fun read Jacob

What a character and such remarkable free flowing versatility .. I'm referring to Walt Jacob .. well Walt Whitman actually .. but then you knew that already don't ya .. and if I am write, then you better go check on the seat of your pants too before you get home or no doubt you'll be for it .. This is really cool, and I do mean, really really cool .. Neville
