Thank you for your meaningful poems, M!

I tried to ascertain Mr. Hammond's identity, and found that this particular poem was written by Samuel Johnson if we're to trust this source: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4AoUAAAAQAAJ&pg=PR10#v=onepage&q&f=false I'll add a note in the summary, just in case.

Hi Val! Welcome to the Poetry Collection and thank you for your lovely contribution! PL OK!

I noticed you posted in an old collection. Let me know if you followed an old link maybe, and I'll try to fix it.

Hello Rapunzelina!

Thank you for finding and “PL-ing” my wayward recording (and thanks to Kitty for forwarding it to you!)

I did indeed find an old link (quite by accident) and totally missed that the project was ancient! Ugh. So glad it found its way to you, I’m still getting familiar with this site… (well, that’s my excuse!) :D
