My arrival was an afterthought.
You rode in on a pair of ox. On your shoulders. Fur of silver fox. Wind blowing back your platinum locks.
Heaven help me. Serve up humble pie.
But I stuttered. Why?
So I send this little ditty. In the hopes that you take pity.
Maybe poke me? In the eye.
Just to pair are thoughts. Lest mine linger lost.
Do try. Design a line leading straight on thru. So I might know some truth. Of you. My Zorro Platiado paradox.
Signed.... Lost in Retrospect
