At some point I DID notice two 'small' typos, but I did not feel like going to the 'trouble' to correct them. At least my wife is gone, so I've had more time on her PC. : ))

(continued aka cont.) what I see now at 11: 23 P.M.! I will probably eventually 'edit the poem' to include the not-included-yet-but-typed and saved stuff.
