Rosemary,

Damn! I read in the poem...

1. We are all inherently ridiculous when we are truly unhappy, but this does not detract from its legitimacy inside the fishbowl.

2. Betrayal and faithlessness are ultimately a matter of perspective.

3. Life is never static and a ``quest for happiness`` is ultimately a futile one. You live. There are no reasons.

And you pre-empt the discussion by telling us that it was about a couple of quackers! Oh well, it was still very high on the ``Wow!`` factor.

Tahnoon.

Quite a different style of writing. but one nevertheless which is tinged with sadness and despair though with some glimmer of hope of all things lost somewhere down the tortuous path of life.

good poem.....
