The porch that Sam built.

This is the porch that Sam built.


These are the grapes that lay on the porch that Sam built.


This is the vine that held the grapes that lay on the porch that Sam built.

This is the man, all shaven and shorn, that cut the vine that held the grapes that lay on the porch that Sam built.

This is the ladder, all wobbly and worn, that supported the man, all shaven and shorn, that cut the vine that held the grapes that lay on the porch that Sam built.


This is the lady, all forlorn, who held the ladder, all wobbly and worn, that supported the man, all shaven and shorn, that cut the vine that held the grapes that lay on the porch that Sam built.


This is the vine, too heavy to be born, that fell on the lady, all forlorn, that dropped the ladder, all wobbly and worn, that dumped the man, all shaven and shorn, who sat on the lady, all forlorn, when he cut the vine that held the grapes that lay on the porch that Sam built.


*********************************************
News summary: New porch finally completed! Grape vine successfully removed from east side of house. Only a few bruises and scratches to prove it -- and a mountain of grapes.

So is the shorn man or the forlorn woman going to make the grape jelly?

Love the story.

By the way, we never said thank you for helping us with England and Barclays. It helped us immensely - so thank you.
