Thanks to Sheila Newton for calling this challenge to my attention, working on this little poem helped me deal with an ornery cold.

Oh, and that is a real Scotties Little Softie that I have had for years and years and years.

Well done you. What a great ‘triangular sequence’ this is. And it’s such good fun, isn’t it? It’s lovely to have you back at Triond. I missed you while you were gone.
