"I''m going on vacation . Could you suggest a thrilling crime story ?" Santa asks to Banta. "Here this one is so suspenseful you won''t be able to put it down" replies Banta. "only on the last page do you find out that the gardener did it".
Hobgoblins know the proper way to dance:
Arms akimbo, loopy legs askew,
Leaping into darkness with delight,
Lusting for the ecstasy of fright,
Open to the charm of horrors new….
~Nicholas Gordon
When I saw you, I was afraid to look at you. When I look at you, I was afraid to touch you. When I touch you, I was afraid to kiss you. When I kiss you I was afraid to love you and now that I love you I''m afraid to lose you.
