Marooned, on a parcel of land surrounded by a large quantity of brine at an unrecognised location, This day, like the previous ones I am without company, An excess of solitude that no male could tolerate, remove me to a place of safety or I may soon lapse into deep depression. I intend to address a request for assistance to the entire population (x2) I yearn for anyone to receive this (x3) Missive within a vitreous liquid container (x2) Since I penned such missive 12 calendar months have elapsed, I should have been aware of the following fact at the outset, to wit, I alone am responsible for my own mental well being, deep emotional attachment can repair ones existance, but conversely it may also have the capacity to severely damage ones cardiac muscle. I intend to address a request for assistance to the entire population (x2) I yearn for anyone to receive this (x3) Missive within a vitreous liquid container (x2) I arose in the A.M. today unable to comprehend the presented vista, An unusually large number of vitreous liquid containers deposited in the littoral zone, apparently many others share my solitude and they all appear to be of no fixed abode. ---

Heck, maybe I’ll post a few more. “Spoons-style,” as somebody above dubbed them; short and sweet: (a) It is possible for my person to view the final part of _La Divina Commedia_ by the luminescence emitting from a part of this vehicle’s interior. (b) Somewhat akin to the perennial plants of the family _pinaceae_ that frame the curving right-of-way, I am the owner of an appellation. © And you are able to inform the world at large that this interplay of lyrics and music belongs to you. (d) Hours of darkness in a certain fabric that reflects the visible spectrum. (e) We are in the process of trying to establish communications with those contained within vessels capable of travelling vast distances through the cosmos. ---

Here are seven more to keep things going: a. A nautical person in our hometown was a raconteur of his life in the place of submersibles. b. I shall spend the nocturnal hours in solitude. During your journey, remember to correspond. Good-bye, adios, live long and prosper. I shall next observe you in the month wherein falls the autumnal equinox, when the vernal season has ended. c. An experienced practitioner of the Craft would be able to summon you from the pit into which opprobrium has cast you, produce alterations to your hepatic organ to induce a firmly held psychological state of unearned favor, accomplishing all this through rapidly arriving melody and harmony imported from distant climes. d. I formerly was a bandit who frequented those highways customarily traveled by horse-drawn common carriers, armed with rapier and flintlock. I both robbed a large number of young women of thir costume jewelry, and killer or severely injured an equal number of servicemen. e. Of these three medicaments, one induces gigantism, one dimunition of stature, and the third, a placebo, was preferred by your maternal progenitor. Proceed to inquire of the three-meter waitress at a roadside diner. Should you seek out lagomorphs – a quest predestined to failure – inform them that you were telephoned by a larval lepidopteran with a waterpipe. Inquire of the aforementioned waitress during her early childhood. f. Shortly after sunset, the tractor-trailer began the descent of the hill leading into the urbanized area in the heart of Lackawanna County, with a cargo of fifteen tons of tropical fruit of genus Musa. g. I have observed with my own eyes the numbus of the Parousia. He is engaged in winemaking uilizing the varietal immortalized by John Steinbeck. His vengeful saber emits [pwerful electrostatic discharges. His veracity perambulates in a military manner. ---

I almost had to make this one _less_ verbose. You give funds to a landlord for an abode directly above a merchant. You shorten your tonsorial style. You take employment. You serially set fire to small amounts of tobacco and inhale the results. Using a long stick, you set ivories in motion atop the baize. You create the impression that you did not attend an institution of education. However, these activities will not be enough to fool the wise and experienced. For when you are in your nocturnal place of repose, observing insects of the genus _Blattidae_ ascend from wainscotting to ceiling, You have the opportunity to engage your male parental unit in telephony, and said unit can prevent everything which ails your person from occurring. You cannot engage in a lifestyle familiar to those of a lower social standing. You cannot engage in the activities similar to those in which persons a lower social standing engage. You cannot engage unsuccessfully in activities in which persons of a lower social standing unsuccessfully engage. You cannot experience a life breakdown, or traverse a club floor, or inbibe alcoholic beverages, or know others Biblically, simply on account of no other activities being available to you.
