What about the Meister! (Eckhart that is) (and by-the-way I support the movement to include y'er poem...)

    prize?  Does he have to share it with the dead guy?  Or what?  I think this
    rule should also apply to Otto von Bismarck, whom I believe is also dead,
    although more recently, and several other people, too.)

  Ralph -- you are wonderful person, and thanks for coming to my defence. but you can't count. There are 13 words in my poem. I figure 5 may be directly attributed to good old Rene. That leaves me with 8 all on my own. Considerably better than 50%!!!!
