the gypsy

gypsy read my palm one day --
. . . boy, you in biiiiiig trouble!

I know that --
tell me something I don't know

before other side comes --
you're going through a world of shit

sounds normal
anything else?

that'll be 20 bucks,

is this where the shit starts?

Dearest Jayne-Chloe,

I will have to agree with your suggestion in this instance. But I wrote in the Gypsy's language without the definite article 'the' on purpose to give the gypsy's language more credence of what I considered authentic for the gypsy.

Thanks, and glad it gave you a laugh and a grin!

Love,

Victor

Thanks, Shirley --

We all need a bit of levity from time to time. I do most of the time.

Bless your heart ---get well---! Please.

Love,

Victor
