Esther you have excelled yourself! This morality tale in verse is delightful. I love your second last stanza in particular and the clever twist at the end! Great rhythmic structure and light-hearted feel. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Esther, it sounds like she's into sensitive guys, ... that's likely to become a slippery slope. She might want to take a straighter approach! Good write! ! Brian
