Random dancing

 I wish I were a poet.
All my favorite songs could easily be favorite poetry.
Has anyone ever put e.e. cummings to music?
What a tremendous gift that would be, of crafting music and words.
I looked at Spanish idioms with Rebecca and Margaret.
Idioms, like
"A stitch in time saves nine"
Such great twists of thinking, like
"Your soup will be more valuable if it has meatballs in it"
or something about wool?
"Tiene mas lana que un borrego"
I could tell you my favorite but it would spoil our private joke.
