House of Baba

Baba is exculsive
she won't let me in
and I don't know where
that invitation can be hiding


Of course the reason may be that with me are twelve donkeys with wings that talk a lot
and gossip
and four blessed dolphins that like to eat a lot of fish but are willing enough to carry the load
when the passage is by water.

Gillian's funeral parade has had to be postponed for a day
because the secretary has been climbing too many stairs
and had to go for xrays, The secretary of the Donkeys' Union, and the dolphin rider.

Ah Fran! That Baba does not let just let anyone in to her house. I am sure the sight of you leading twelve donkeys towards her establishment was enough to make her put up the barricades. :-)

The Donkeys always pay their own way, however
they have asked me to say,"no entry, no hay, no work." The Secretary

I am not sure what Baba will think about that Fran. Roasted donkey could end up on the menu for everyone in residence if they get too uppitty and demanding. Hay and water is one thing but you know these donkeys, they eat people's apples and the orchard could be stripped bare. Anyway, we will wait to hear from Baba herself. Perhaps Agnes needs to read the chapter in Women Who Run With the Wolves to learn more about our Baba Yaga.

The Secretary: Our members only eat apples out of baskets provided. Agnes probably needs to read a good many books for psychological help but she prefers quotations from the Donkey Thesarus and Brewer.

Bring her to Baba Yaga's house darlink and she will give Agnes some psychological advice she will not forget. Chuckle!

The entire company of donkeys is on its way. Someone took their photo as they left the Hermitage and the Secretary sent it on to the Abby. I have kept your word re psychological advise for later as it might be misinterpreted at the moment. The Secretary

PS Did you know that the Secretary is probably the only certified teacher in Engish speaking countries that has never had a course in psychology? ( Is that why she is on her present job?)
