Thanks, for the generous introduction, Teddy, and the levity. I think my poem needed a good tickle, and your playful illustration balanced it out, nicely.
It's almost like you got the poem to develop a sense of humor and smile at itself :)
Always interesting to take a look at the process and see how you arrived there...
Cheers,
Yahia
