Wow! I will dream of only you after that amazing song!!! The poem was great, and the singing blew me away.

I thought the same! Now it is Elizabeth and her voice I will think of when I hear that song. Beautifully done Elizabeth!

Painfully thorough but I loved it! Even the structure of the list communicated the frustration and the chaos of our trashing the planet.

Thanks for reading this Peter. I was thinking about how in the old days with handwritten work we would have copies of writers' drafts to see the evolution of their work. But with e-editing now, that mostly disappears. The edits to this one were many, but they are invisible!
