"Before you leave, I want you to hear
how this all came about.
Driving along the highway, I saw this young woman
looking tired and bedraggled,so I brought her home
and made her a meal from the roast beef
you had forgotten in the refrigerator.
She had only some worn sandals on her feet,
so I gave her a pair of good shoes you had discarded
because they had gone out of style.
She was cold so I gave her a sweater I bought you
for your birthday that you never wore because
the color did not suit you.
Her pants were worn out so I gave her a pair of yours
that were perfectly good but too small for you now.
Then when she was about to leave the house
she paused and asked: "Is there anything else your wife
doesn't use any more?"
