Come over.
For dinner.
Here's a box and a bowl.
Something wrong with Rice Chex?

What I want,
what I'm in a fever for,
is that book.
Dja bring it?

Here I am,
ever the lady,
climbing you like a fire ladder.
Not kissing you--
I want the book.

Got it!
Go, now. 
Thanks.
Toodles.

    You can work magic, Shay, even in just 55 words...

  2. How our passions change with time and experience, eh? Or perhaps not, perhaps we just learn better ways of satisfying them. ;_)
