701



good things come in small packages

grandmothers of old would say
those days permission requesting

prescribed were letters
for the hand of a daughter
by an anxious suitor

  7. Well done, GC. Formality be damned; we should all just run off to Vegas, let some alleged preacher hitch us up out there on a street corner; invite every passerby that passes by.

  9. I really love how the literal use of your chosen cliché makes the phrase new again. And I like the piece, too. I have never been able to resist a bit (or a lot) of grandmotherly wisdom.
