I did write a poem about it--Checking the Lines--I am the mousetrapper, I sing as I set lines...I think I was aiming for a ballad and ended up with a lament instead.;-)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-53791029630423541252013-01-11T11:43:05.057-08:002013-01-11T11:43:05.057-08:00Great sounds, Joy.
