The box within a box!

Was the man

always inside the boy?

Or was the boy

always inside the man?

Did the girl

bring out the boy?

Or did the woman 

drag out the man?

Did the boy bring

out the woman

from the girl

that maketh the man

or did the man just

maketh the woman

that made everything

in his mold,

a box within a box. 

Lets ask mother.

Your cup hath runneth over with verse, andrew!!!

Methinks this an age-long question that will never be answered - unless of course, you believe in fantasmagorical fairy god--mothers!

[andrew mitchell]

lmao you may be onto something, the quest to find the Fairy God Mother! She may be dangerous! A cougar of sorts! Thank you Emma for reading and have a happy safe Xmas to you and yours! And may Santa visit you through your chimney!
