Today’s Cryptogram

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications, unfortunately they are copyrighted so we can't use them here. So, we're just going to make up our own.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under 2 "you're a pro!"
Those of you looking for an added challenge can try to solve one sentence or even one word at a time, i.e. solve the entire first line, then go to the second line etc.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:
YOU CAN BE YOUNG WITHOUT MONEY, BUT YOU CAN’T BE OLD WITHOUT IT. —-TENNESEE WILLIAMS
....This won’t hurt, Did it?
once ‘eye’ figured ‘you’ out, the rest fell like dominoes.....
A little bit more challenging 5 min.
The two letter words that share a letter and that letter is also a single letter word started the dominoes moving but there was lots of puzzling left. A walk on the art side of town.
I’m having a terrible time. Is there a comma missing?
Okay, I got it. If I could write it, there would be a comma. =)
