    When.

    When the mill shut down,
    we hit the pavement with a thud,
    then we all got up and kept walking.
    Some to the work house,
    some to the poor house,
    some to the whorehouse,
    and the grave.

    This one's good, Will.
    The title you might make When the mill shut down (without the comma, and
    then continue with the 2nd and following lines).
    I think you should post it with a C&C request in the subject line. >>>>>>> Stuart

    Nice. It sums up the dull, plodding feeling of getting on with our lives
    after something huge has ended with a wet splat.

    Thanks again, and hope you'll stuck with us for more poetry, Melissa. >>>>>>
    Did Melissa delete her post? If so: Wow!

    I'm not sure, it will still appear on other Usenet newsgroup
    portals, though, if so, such as Newsgrouper.org.


    I'm replying from newsgrouper. Her post is still there, all right.

    Same here.

    That happens on Usenet, a post deleted

    NSP's don't honor cancels anymore

    Have you been talking lessons in the use of the apostrophe from Jim
    Senetto, Bruce?

    How about

    Troll much, Bruce?
