Re: On disappointing ladies

I am afforded a series of possiblities, Mick:

1. I am a glass armonica
2. I am highly thought of, a blinding artifact of  celestial current
3. I am a dissapointing lady
4. You are an 8 year old in love with me but won´t tell.

Now, to the certainties:

1. Your expression is impaired
2. Your analogies are unclear
3. You want to give me spasms, but can´t.
4. I am, after all, a lady.
