Tikkis said...: - How old is the autumn?; 8:23 AM
Bill said...: Thanks, aurora. You do, too, especially for someone your age.

For those who are busy writing all sorts of salacious scenarios, aurora had a fine poem at tinywords.com, and my ku was directly inspired by hers.

tikkis, as old as it feels, just like you and me.; 11:35 AM
