Nuts. I hoped you were looking to get hired to write the music.

That’s okay. Thank you for the thought, Gerard.

C.J., that is a delightful poem. It reminds me of the poetry of an English writer I discovered as a kid. Her name is Eleanor Farjeon. It's hard to find her books nowadays, but she wrote a book of poetry called "The Children's Bells," and two books that I think you might love if you can find them. One is THE SILVER CURLEW which I read aloud to my grandchildren and they loved it, and the other is an adult book called MARTIN PIPPIN IN THE APPLE ORCHARD.

If Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle could believe that they were real, who I am to judge that?

You need to know the story of the Cottingley Fairies, if you don’t know it already.
