Lady of the Lamp
By Courtesy of Google
Stillness in the night
She walked her ward rounds with care
With light in her hand
I was in lower school of the King George V in Seremban and my teacher Mrs Mc Coy read us the poetry on the Lady of the Lamp which I remember to this day.

Dear Hal,
I couldn't imagine I'd remember one after so many years. Suggest just 'Stillness of the night' to keep it 5-7-5. Great!

Dear Hank,
My school years in Seremban was the fondest memory I had and it will be etched forever. I had done as you suggested. That was an inadvertent oversight, as I had the draft started with "Stillness in the night", but the hand did not follow by sheer force of habit, credit to Mr. Micheal Loh.
A busy body
I can claim to be one
Offering nothing
Is that 5-7-5?
Dear Pakcik,
The second line is short by one syllable. Just add one more syllable such as "Soul" after the word "One".There you are, you have become a member of the club.
