Dear Al, you are too cute really. All of these are so witty, yet the one that made me laugh out loud was the last ...

Love the lightness, thank you for the daily dose!

Love,
Margherita

Thanks, Lori for your generous remarks: I try to add a little levity but I do sometimes write more serious haiku on occasion--which I'll be sharing.

Warmest,

Al
