In Answer To Your Question (Prose Poem) by Dovina

Suppose I tell you I love you no matter what you do, that nothing you can do will make my love go away? Suppose I tell you I keep no logs of cruelties, broken promises, abuses, past or future? What if I tell you you can run to the ends of the earth and do the most horrible, unthinkable things, and if you come back, I’ll receive you with tears and a party? Suppose I say you don’t have to put on a mask, and it’s okay to be anything you are and I will never punish you, and when you mess up, I will never nag? What if you know my love isn’t based on how little wrong you do and you can hurt my heart but I will never hurt yours? What if I tell you there is no secret agenda, no trap door and no turning back? At such time as I can tell you this I will marry you.

THE THREE PRINCIPLES OF EMBROIDERY

1. An embroidery will continue to grow at constant rate unless another embroidery collides with it, or the loom weaves itself into a frenzy.

2. A family of embroideries is called a hovis.

3. Weave with the weft, you'll soon be bereft.
Weave with the warp, and you'll ne'er parp.

LOOM MAINTENANCE

1. Don't be tempted to fit your loom with a turbo.
2. Remeber to replace your loom's oxygen tanks after each embroidering.
3. Regularly inspect your loom's tyres for fruit salads.

(Loom Maintenance in a High-Risk Hobo Sanctuary)

4. Hoboes cling to filthy looms like barnacles, burrowing deep into their majestic oil trumpets and feasting on woollen deposits. If you find your loom has become encrusted with these urchins, prize them off with a palette knife or coat hanger. In future, a Fisherman's Friend dangling uselessly from the loom's spinnerets should discourage them.

5. If the Hobo Density exceeds 100 Beards, and their interlocking limbs have formed a Level 3 Hobo Matrix, CALL A SPECIALIST AT ONCE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE HOBOES BY HAND!
