What tolls betoken Common fare? Divergent roads design Detour - Free Passage signs should read Beware! Lest Common Place ensigns allure To forge untrodden Avenue As One-Way streets likely procure Adversive Ways that lead askew The sense of bearings Common Sound Tread nary roads impending rue. There's surety in Common found. Converging paths the rightly pair... Best pay the toll to Common Ground. [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 04-16-2000).] |

And the charge for a spicy little pepper? Interesting poem, Nan ....  "This is where you will win the battle .... in the playhouse of your mind." Maxwell Maltz |

Love it! "Free Passage signs should read Beware!" How true... remind me not to pay attention, though... I could use a bit of a detour! |

Is it a mindset that one must ponder to write such verse, or just streets wander, and while I'll be all that I can... I'll never pen like Nan. Enjoyed, enjoyed! |

**digging through my dictionary*** Inconruously Unconscionably Indescribably Austentatious. Did I miss anything? Love the metaphor...Danger indeed. |
