Just a bit of fun.<br /><br /><b>Jinksy</b><br />Well, yes, you have to laugh!<br /><br /><b>Rose</b><br />Strange in a way - she was a most forbidding lady. Always dressed in black. And in those days it was a rough area.<br /><br /><b>HyperCRYPTICal</b><br />Good you thought so.<br /><br /><b>Cait</b><br />That, too, is good to hear. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Tommaso</b><br />Nursery Rhymes, yes! I go with that.<br /><br /><b>Windsmoke</b><br />There's certainly room to let the imagination rip, I agree.<br /><br /><b>Mary</b><br />To the best of my knowledge this bird said nothing beyond what I've recorded.<br /><br /><b>Dulcina</b><br />Many thanks for this. I think the bird had a nice little number there.<br /><br /><b>Brian</b><br />Thanks - returning the smiles.<br /><br /><b>Lolamouse</b><br />True.
