Verse and electricity are both metered, but if you mess with the meter of your electricity it's criminal tampering instead of poetic license!. That hardly seems fair!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As many as decide to describe the light it shines!. Each one will see it different from the last, so in each description it will change!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
