        Plain wonderful, UnO! Being a non-native speaker, I do not think I am able to fully enjoy the beauty, but even the rhytm and sound of the poem is great!

              The rhythm is a cross between T'Was the Night Before Christmas, and Dr. Seuss, if I've got ir right. Once you get that down, it reads amazingly well.

              And Aro - hello my friend! Great to hear from you!
              Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.

                  No cross.

                  See my reference link. It's How the Grinch stole christmas verse for verse.

                  The original was posted in the forum, and it was worked verse by verse, sometimes out of order, till it was done.

                        Very well written, Unorthodox. If I weren't on GS, I'd say it filled me with the Chirstmas spirit.

                            Truly excellent, and with much Holiday and Apolyton Spirit!!

                            Thanks, Uno, it is just great.
                            The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.
