If you were boy and I were girl
Then you could send my thoughts awhirl.
But as you’re girl and I am boy
You’ll have to draft a diff’rent ploy.
If we did share the self same sex
Then we could probe our sim’lar specs.
But as you’re in the other side
We’ll have to take it in our stride.
This simple poem is meant to say
That we all have our ‘ticlar way.
And that we need to plan to see
That what we are is meant to be.
Nods head.

Not all hermaphrodites are worms, but all worms are hermaphrodites. Actually, I don’t know if that’s true. π

Didn’t go running after all. Exhausted from all the socialising yesterday. Good morning, Robert. Hope you slept well. Any interesting dreams?

I hardly dreamt at all. One of the tricks, apparently, is to oversleep (get more sleep than you need) and so getting to sleep at quarter past one in the morning didn’t help the cause at all. Hope you had a great Saturday. Mine was rather too busy.

I’m going to take everything you say at face value from now on and quell my instinct towards sarcasm. It make communication so difficult. No wonder I have hardly any friends, and the ones I do have look at me funny every time I say anything.
