Dear Diary:
O.K., Justine,
here’s the take-away.
Please
do not call
me back
to confirm
my dinner reservation
for Friday evening
at your restaurant,
because then I must
return your call
and I give you
my word right now,
cross my heart
Girl Scout oath
that I will
definitely, positively
show up on time.
Trust me.
Thank you
so very much.
