Nice Deeply Drawing reader into the scene, P! You have us well-watching,
quite curious as to what 'he' will find.
I confess I wanted 'him' to find something shocking, outrageous, extreme,
weird, hilarious, stoopid, VB'ish, something that makes you stand up in bed
and kick your partner.
BTW, took me Ever So Long to figure out why you'd posted 2 versions of this,
Sweet P. And now I've chosen the first version bcuz I love 'undernerearth'!
