We adore conveying news
you didn’t want to hear.
“It wasn’t the winning lottery ticket
after all.
“The girlfriend dies halfway
through the story.
“The boyfriend did it.
“Coincidentally, he’s a butler,
but it was his day off;
so we can’t say the butler did it
can we?
“About that new job!”

Only it’s not silver. It’s pewter. Or maybe just polished aluminum. ;^)
