Thanks, Jerry, and to everyone else for your kind remarks. Since you're
re-reading Robert Service, I'm sure you recognized the work on which our
feeble parody is based. Any resemblance to what we did and Service's
poetry is purely miraculous. ;-)

For those of you who might be interested in reading what *loosely*
inspired "The Caching of Stan McBee", read
http://www.robertwservice.com/verse/cremation.html.  Then visit that
home page for more of Service's wonderful (and readable) poems.
