I whipped out me lickle mirror and 'ad a good run. Nice One Tom I must admit at first glance I thought it was Welsh and almost passed it up. How about one in pig-latin?

I can give you pig-latin right here. When at school we fooled our Spanish master with it: Der dago forte lorez in aro. demznot lorrez, demzar trux, fulla causan enzan dux. actually I thought mine reminded me of Breton but Welsh is close to Breton, though not as close as Cornish.

It's seven o'clock What's up doc.......... :) this poem of yours was a challenge, and a great read first thing in the morning. It feels like I am doing my usual crosswords puzzle.

This is odd, this is risible... the third line.

You are on the right track, Michaela. I don't know if you've read Wes Vogler's limericks and seen his marvellous cartoons. There's a continuous story about someone called OOGIE and I've been trying to follow it from the first episode (I think there are 58 to date) but about four of the first 12 have come up with the not found message. Very frustrating. By the way, it's Wes's Birthday, today. Go on. Wish him a Happy Birthday! Anyway, I once sent in a Poem Special Pleading when I had this not found problem before. this, I confess, is the exact reverse so I'm probably getting 20 points by false pretences! On the other hand, it looks a bit like our Breton National Anthem so maybe I deserve them.

Have I become invisible...the second line.

It took me awhile to realize that this poem is an anagram, entitled: Not Found. And then the first line reads: Is there anybody out there...I am still deciphering.....
