Schmaltz Routines
Jeremy James Thompson

  

The very modern think of women when tinkering with silver spoons. We ourselves are not collectors but try to keep abreast of what it is that women do. And it is this way that men are women. Men our women want are all but indiscernible & even then and only through a clever looking glass. This was once a sonnet for a woman once a woman's list of things to do once the price of lingerie. She gets it first commencing tears her dress with alimony saying curtly we ourselves will go on bedding fortune's seamstress. Yes she thinks, she'll do it.
