Magpie #253

There once was a lass named Aphrodite
Who never left home without her nighties
Said she with a smile
I need them to beguile
So pack them all in my two Samsonites...

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
