[bodytext] => T'was the morn’ before Christmas; just after dawn. Watching Bush on my Plasma-screen; I felt I needed to yawn. I peered out of my window; to admire my artificial English lawn. Before I could do anything; I was interrupted by my stupid cursed phone! I picked it hurriedly; as I really wanted to be left alone. On the phone was my damsel Susanna; sounding musical with fright. She said something about her dryer: about it not working right. T'was her hair dryer; it had just exploded with great might. "My jet-black hair is gone,” she said. "There is not a single lock left in sight" "Oh!" I gasped "Why did this have to happen before tonight?" I tried to console her; but the woman had certainly gone mad. I said I would buy her the best wig; she said she wanted me dead. I said “Maybe the bald head looks stylish; maybe it didn’t at all look bad” But my talking didn’t help; it only made her angry and sad. Surely this had to be some hallucination; was it a dream in my blessed head? We were going out that evening; to the annual Charity ball The ball was going to be close to the newly built Trump mall I told her I would figure something out; later I was going to call. I started thinking hard; until my head felt like it was starting roll. If I glued a wig to her head; would it stay put and not fall?
