A man said to his wife one day, "I don''t know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
"The wife responded, "Allow me to explain."
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
Hobgoblins know the proper way to dance:
Arms akimbo, loopy legs askew,
Leaping into darkness with delight,
Lusting for the ecstasy of fright,
Open to the charm of horrors new….
