Great verse, Terry, and apt to Doc. Thanks for expanding my wee
knowledge of late nineteenth-century Scots poets. I'll search it out,
maybe memorize it, to sharpen my poor failing wits.
Love,
John

Speaking of cake!!
This is one of my favorite stanzas from any poem anywhere--from
"Thirty Bob a Week" by Scottish poet John Davidson who wrote
during the late 1800's early 1900's . The energy, the audacity and
the fun remind me of you, Doc. Happy cake eating!
Love, Terry
I step into my heart and there I meet
A god-almighty devil singing small,
Who would like to shout and whistle in the street,
And squelch the passers flat against the wall;
If the whole world was a cake he had the power to take,
He would take it, ask for more, and eat them all.
