[A page torn from an old manuscript, written in a scrawling hand]
Drearie waters, hissing daughters.
Crack three green shells and steal their pearls.
Turn the spigot and drink from the misery of a broken house.
Gulp and swallow, follow, follow.
Three wet marbles down the gullet.
Do this for me dearie and I'll give you a birthday gift.
