To the Damsels that are too Lazy to Write to their Suitors

Good day! And may I add, What's new?

Is there no way of hearing from you?

If you don't inform me soon

I'll make up news of you all.

Since you are so recalcitrant,

I bid you good afternoon, good night,

good day!

But if you're picking berries,

do send me some, because I'm desperate

to see things - and "berry keen" to see

you, my ladies, some morning soon.

Good day!
