Oldham Mill 1840 ( No E's Challenge) Clog irons ring on cobbling walk, Dark, huddling shawls, asthmatic talk, Smoking stacks, a factory god, "Worship all, or risk my rod" Kith and kin spin Ginnys gold, Cotton ruling young and old, From crib to coffin, toil all day, Abandon all, who pass this way. OLIAS. |

Not an "E" in sight and the poem doesn't miss them. Excellent write on the harshness of picking cotton and slavery.  Shenachie |

Olias! Sir...you've been gone far too long! And then you come back with a wondrous response to Sven's challenge! Stay around awhile, and teach us, please? |

EXCELLENT´E is there a snynonym to excellent, in any language, that contains no e? Surely so!Probably several, but is there one you know? Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
