SE~ CO' MO^.T NGA`Y VE^` THA(M XU+' QUA~NG


        * * To the tune of Tra^`n Trung DDa.o's poem, "Bao Gio+`  
            Nhi? To^i Ve^` Tha(m Xu+' Qua~ng." This poem is also
            inspired by many SCV netters, among whom I dedicated
            are Donna   Trinh, Tri D. Tran, Tra^`n Trung DDa.o,
            Hoa`ng Nguye^~n, Jonathan (Ho`a) Tra^`n, Hie^.p (FXD)
            (?), Die^~m-Ha` N. Tra^`n, Bichthuy (?), Bich-Nga Le, 
            Lam (?), Diane Kieu-Nga Nguyen... especially to a
            little Dananger (anh Hoa`ng knows who he is!), Tung
            Thanh Nguyen for a beautiful rose, and Hoa`ng-Mai T.  
            Nguye^~n, a dear friend of mine#.
