    Jebbie. (behave)

    ~

    I am in enough trouble. You cut your nostril hairs,

    ask permission to get a day 'pass' to leave thee clinic.

    A boss @ UT mental ward say: The Loons retirements,

    Red Beet borsch soup like kitchen farms, say no way!

    No give freeloaders like us a furlough pass. I wonder?

    Maybe YKW got a burr under saddle? Teen chick-pox.

    Jebbie. I am sorry for the latent emerging chicken pox.
