the submitting poet, not Rene Descartes. (I mean, if HO wins, who gets the
prize? Does he have to share it with the dead guy? Or what? I think this
rule should also apply to Otto von Bismarck, whom I believe is also dead,
although more recently, and several other people, too.)
Ralph -- you are wonderful person, and thanks for coming to my defence. but
you can't count. There are 13 words in my poem. I figure 5 may be directly
attributed to good old Rene. That leaves me with 8 all on my own. Considerably
better than 50%!!!!
