Dear Lady Rose,
I Sincerely Hope And Pray That This Missive
Finds You In Good Spirits And Doing Well!
As For Me, Besides A Lil' Bit O' The Arthur
I Am Doing Well, All Things Considered!
Lady Ro, I Want To Ask You A Question:
Did You Receive A Strange-Looking
Very Large, Padded Envelope By Mail Or Special Delivery
In The Past, Oh, I Don't Know, Three Months!?!
I Only Ask Because I Received A Like Envelope
With A Handwritten Letter With The Strangest Instructions!
It Said, And I Quote: "If You Are Happy, Read The Letter!
If You Are Sad, Read The Letter!
If You Are Tempted, Read The Letter!
If You Are Feeling Weary, Read The Letter!"
The Letter Of Instructions Rattled Off
A Long List Of Things For Which I Should Read Some Letter
Which Should Have Been Enclosed But Was Not!
All That Was In The Envelope Was An Old Book
Rather Expensive-Looking But Nonetheless Old, Like Methuselah!
I Shook That Book And No Letter Fell Out So I Am Clueless!
Neither The Envelope Nor The Letter Of Instructions
Bear A Return Address So I Don't Know Who To Contact
About The Missing Letter!
I Am At A Loss!
Please Help!
Love Always,
Dorothy

Dear Dorothy,
You Have Surely Lived Up To Your Nickname!
You Are A Real Dodo!
Yes, I Received A Similar Envelope:
Everybody Did, And Anybody Coming Into The Household
Is Going To Receive An Identical Envelope!
Dodo, Did You Look At The Title Of The Book!?!
Did You Notice That It Said "Holy Bible!?!"
Did You Open Said Bible!?!
Don't You Know Or Have You Forgotten That
The Holy Bible Is Called God's Love LET...TER To Mankind!?!
I Should Box Your Ears!
How Come It Has Taken You Three Whole Months
To Open That Envelope And, Worse Yet
Three Months To Come ... With Help ... To The Realization That
The Missing Letter IS The Enclosed Bible!?!
You Need A Real Cut-Tail With A Hard Rubber Slipper!
Seriously, Though, All Those Points
Telling You To Read The Letter Are For Real And
You Need To Fixedly Pay Attention To And Follow Them!
Of Course, It Must Be Stated That
"No Read, No Power: Read Well, You Flower!"
That's The Lord's Will Concerning You, Me, We, His Children!
Call Me On Meet And We Can Read It Together
Taking Turns, Of Course!
Love You, Bless You, Talk To You Soon!
Your Favorite Sis-Sis!
Peace!
