During private times she bounced like a volley ball. Linda was dwarfish, sinister & bald. Her stringy hair was matted. Soon she would know death. The sisters hungered for a man's brutal love as neither chick had known of such a thing & were desperate to be plumbed as the term is often understood to mean.
   One day a man showed up. He knocked & Linda, the sister of Lisa, answered. β€œYes? Do you want something?” The man didn't want anything from her. β€œWell?” She asked. But still the man said nothing. β€œSpeak up!” Linda demanded. The man stood silently, a muted testimony to the hard-driven life that he had lived since boyhood. Linda slammed the door. The man knocked again.
   β€œWhat's going on?” A naked Lisa asked, fresh from the attic.
   β€œThere's a man knocking on the door.”
   β€œWell,” Lisa said, still naked, β€œI'll see what this is all about.” Lisa flung open the door to find that the man was naked. β€œWhat's all this?” She demanded of the strange man who remained silent.
   β€œLet me get to the bottom of this!” Linda said, who was now naked, as she brusquely pushed her naked sister aside. β€œListen here buddy,” Linda informed, β€œstate your business or get lost!”
   β€œYou tell him!” Lisa chimed in.
   The naked man grinned and then smiled. Lisa & Linda did likewise. The dew was drying on the grass and it wasn't half as dewy as it had been 20 minutes before.
   β€œWe'd better do something about this before everybody knows,” Lisa opined.
   β€œWhat?” Linda asked. With that the mysterious naked man walked away.
   β€œThat's strange,” Lisa observed. β€œWe may never know the meaning of his visit.”
   Linda sobbed: β€œSome day he'll be the best husband in the world!”
