Hush Money

Rating: 5.0


Dear Jolly, fine Sydonian,

Acknowledge 'Melbourne' is heading to 'Mabbn',
ignore that Udderlaide is tending to drop the -der-
and extinguish, that it can only be a woman.

After what Udderlaide Downunder
found in his Chambers today:

to keep Mabbn
from knowing that the Kydonians of old Crete
called themselves Kwins
and called one Kydonian a Kwine,
what, fine Sydonian, would you say
the Sydonians would pay?
