I've been told often that I look like Ms. Atwood (altho' Dennis Lee told such commenters at a party once that I "don't look at all like Peggy"!), and I don't see how I could get a pun out of that -- a limerick, perhaps, but not a pun.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-88346066856468462052008-12-07T10:01:00.000-08:002008-12-07T10:01:00.000-08:00Oh that is a good pun from enc!!
