I got one of those 3 page Holiday chat-and-curiosity letters from a friend of mine who sends them every year to all her friends-but instead of calling/e-mailing her with details of personal lives she is so obviously panting for, here is the tease I’m sending her instead-
When presented with Pandora’s box
Redolent of sandalwood and dust
Why hesitate to open the lid
And breathe the remembered lust?
On the wiser side, why tempt fate
And loose the Chimera within?
Better to leave the lid unopened
Upon such sweet, seductive sin...
I’ve e-mailed all the usual suspects she sends these things to every year, and my date and hour in the betting pool we have on her first phone call is tonight at 7PM...
WELL, did she call?? who won the pool????
