Picnics and Palm Readings
Bruce called for Sallie in the evening at the hotel.
"My goodness, ma'am, you're looking well.
I was thinking we would go a little way out of town;
And find a grassy area to sit down.
I picked up some special food and I think
That neither you nor I will forget this evening.
A ways out of town he found a place under a tree
That would make a perfect picnic spot for him and Sallie.
He spread out a blanket and said with a grin,
"Well, Sallie, dear, shall we dig in?"
There was a box of delicious muffins
But Bruce had done something to them.
He'd sprinkled half of them with powder
He'd bought long ago for a job.
It was supposed to encourage truth-telling,
But he wasn't sure if the powder would still work.
"Have a muffin?"
He picked up one
And then held out the box to her.
Sallie smiled, "Why thank you sir. This place is absolutely lovely.
I'm coming to grow rather fond of BG." Sallie held her muffin daintily.
But not one bite did she take. Because she didn't trust this snake.
He thought himself so clever indeed. But she was the wolf and he the sheep.
