Allyson, I'm confused by "The poem: Opportunity by Robert Winner" - I can't find a poem titled "Opportunity" by Robert Winner. Can you give a URL for it? Or tell me where you read it?

OK. I see now. You were answering Sandra's lines from December 12. I think I needed to think about this game's rules a little more. It can be confusing when people are answering old posts.
Thanks for playing, Allyson. Hope you continue to join Sandra and me. So far, it's been only the two of us. It's nice to have another player.
