THE GREATEST OF THESE
The woman had already seated herself
glanced quickly
Pencil in hand he observed,
this woman,
naked
say six feet; sandy hair, blue eyes, big boned

must be unqualified.

bored,
he did not understand,
She had stripped herself of modesty,

thanks for putting up with me - now onto the rest of 2011 and beyond!
