Dedicated to my sister-in-law, Gerlinde Hallermann.

A/N *bologna sausage is commonly pronounced as ba-lon-ey or

           bo-lon-ey in North America and Canada. (See Webster's New

           World College Dictionary.) In Australia this same sausage is called

           devon. Europeans would tend to pronounce it bo-lon-ya or ba-lon-ya

           like the French province of Bologne.

           Hopefully, this note will explain why I have used it to rhyme with

           macaroni and help to make the reading more smooth for readers 

           who are unfamiliar with the North American pronunciation.  ~ Gail
