Being a slow day, I gave this one a go at quiet moments:

AAAEEEIIIIOOO
CDFFHGLLLLLNSSRRTWW

Even though there's plenty there, I churlishly wished there was an M, B and V as well.

Ah, as a poet I make a great librarian.


Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde


ACROSS THE IRISH SEA HE SAILS
STARS SHINE AHEAD IN THE SIGN OF THE SCALES

IN THE TOWN FILLED WITH LIGHT HE'S THE WIT OF HIS AGE
EARNEST WORDS TELL A TALE, TOLD ON THE STAGE

STARS COLLIDE
HIS FEELINGS STIR
A LORD IN A RAGE SENDS A NOTE OF ILL WORDS
IS IT A LIE?
THERE IS A WRIT
HE LOSES THE CASE AND A SCANDAL HITS

NO LONGER FREE
HIS STAR, IT FALLS
HiS FACE IS HID INSIDE COLD WALLS

HE DOES NOT REST IN READING GAOL ALONE
HE FALLS IN WATER ON A FACE OF STONE

Ever notice that no matter how many letters there is always one(s) desired?
BTW....
on that note..
you cannot have
bEHIND.
no letter "B".

Oh poo.

I've changed BEHIND to INSIDE.

There's no fooling the hawk-like eyes of Lexx.

I was proud of my little self making READING GAOL out of that ~ I also found THE SELFISH GIANT. A story I liked as a nipper.
