Communications between sisters

My dear sister Deborah is always calling me and singing me popular songs, changing the words to fit to my situation. so I sent her this song one day, to the tune of "O Tenanbaum."

O Deborah, my Deborah
How lovely are thine eyeballs
O Deborah, my Deborah,
How lovely are thine eyeballs
They glance so sweet when morning comes
And are devious when day is done
O Deborah, my Deborah,
How lovely are thine eyeballs.

She wrote back with a nice poem, exploiting the fact that I don't have eyebrows.

Naomi, Naomi how thy eyebrows doth shine
They are so light
And flutter through the air
You'd never know
that they were ever there
And perhaps some day
When the world's bereft of delves
They will deign
To show themselves
But until then dear
I fear we must be content
To bid them farewell
Wherever they are sent
And in the life they find there
I pray they become not a bore
But find some eyebrowless peasant
Who needs them more.
So bid them adieu
And shed not a tear
You look so much better
Since they are not here.


We are so silly. =)
