Thanks Rula!

Light bulb moment on that title change, for sure. I'm trying to think of that group dance song that is often played at weddings. Anyway, the words follow that rhythm.

Cheers!

Hello Thomas,

Does the group dance have anything to do with a chicken? I like your title and the poem made me smile...right up until I remembered we might get stuck with this turkey for another term! Is there a vaccine to prevent Stupid?

hugs, and respect, Cat

Hi Cat!

My regards to the people over there. I think I might be getting close to figuring out that melody soon, but it's not the chicken dance...I know it's well known...here's to grinding gears..
Thanks for reading and enjoying!
