    Thanks I'mnotaverse; I didn't use a prompt, just thought of words prefixed by 'second' and came up with this.

    I, too, missed it first time around [sic], but I'm blaming that lapse on lack of a caffeine buzz.

    Cool write, now that I get it.

    Aha!!! Words prefixed by 'second' makes for a very clever poem, although I admit I didn't get it until I read the comments!

    And seconds later, Amy posted to say, YES! This is a great poem. Stan, so glad to see you and thanks for visiting me. Didn't you contribute to Poetic Asides? Think that's where I first read you.

    To me, I felt the angst of a job interview and of the limited chances folks have... but that's just me. Amy

    Does this mean that tomorrow you will do thirds?
    Great idea, Stan, I think it hangs together well,

    Thanks to:
    Brenda; There will be more...
    Marianne; I wanted to see if anyone would get seconds, first.
    Amy; Or it may have been NaPoWriMo 2010.
    Elizabeth; You sussed me out!

    I am glad for the explanation or I may have come up with my own conclusions, which sometimes can be quite wrong. Nice write, Stan.
