I am trying the “Verse” option in WordPress, because in part I think I should; and at least I miss having to type Xes for spaces.  I’m not sure how it’s going; I’m not sure what you receive, even though I proofread graphically as well.  I’ll keep trying.  Thanks for reading.





Tollers



Yesterday

His birthday

The day before

My brother’s

For who shall be

My brother

Well

My brother

Though I could meet

Him

In the Bird and Baby

As in a pub

He met

With Dracula

(a good story

that)

And I shall send a card

To my brother

Through electrons

And there shall be

Good wishing

In a meeting

With him

Too

That may

Or may not happen

Though we know

We can’t see

Tollers

Save on pages

And having seen

His son

Once

At a conference

At which I read

A paper

About riddles
