Thanks! A couple little things that change the meaning:
Census-taker:
3:03 - "The place is desert" - you pronounced it like a sugary confection; it should be like a sandy wasteland.
Star-splitter:
1:18 - "I’ll have one if
I sell my farm to buy it." I hear "if
you sell my farm"
4:35 - "if splitting stars
’Sa thing to be compared.." I hear "splitting stars 'sa
good thing.."
I'll fix these. I debated about the reading of "desert." There are two pronunciations, as a noun for an arid place, or as a verb as to leave a place or person alone, when it becomes a homophone to "dessert." I thought the emphasis here was on the fact that there was no one there rather than a description of geography. But, I think you are right, even though I would expect a preceding article. Ah, why we love this language, especially when poets get a hold of it.
And, I'll give "New Hampshire" and extra proof before I submit it.
Now, to shovel some New Hampshire snow, hoping there are no trees across the road . . . .
