Well constructed. <BR/><BR/>Edward Beaman(Pen Me A Poem)Beamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516397458228874124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907443983750294322.post-68364912072894614352008-07-29T08:03:00.000-07:002008-07-29T08:03:00.000-07:00Oh, yes!

I wonder; does human nature become more horrific with each horror that it learns to forget.Brad Frederiksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713307915563075835noreply@blogger.com
