The English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in 1797-1799. Thank you Wikipedia.
My dad used to quote it. Back in the day they used to have you memorize old poems, but then they weren't as old then as they are now.
Anyhoo, we will forgive Mr. Coleridge for not knowing how to spell rhyme and thank him for the line "Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink," because it reminds me of my day, my entire day, yesterday. For a better post about that, go to www.xanga.com/kentuckyducky
And, the "water, water, water" story? That's for a different post. Someday.

One more thing.
I had a dream last night that I was getting baptized. Do you think there is a connection here?
I think the "Water, water, water, water, water" story needs to be shared with the world. Tonight.
I need to find the photo documentation firset.
Firset?
Sorry to break it to you, but Coleridge is obviously smarter than you are. He might have forgiven you though. He was using a pun when he used the word "rime" instead of "rhyme".
