The Line: "And to top this modest outfit off, over her real head of hair she wears a wig inspired by Little Orphan Annie, an oversized aureole of black corkscrew curls, out of whose center pokes this dumb painted face. What a mean little mouth it gives her! She really is from West Virginia!" (209).

Too tired to think
of a clever haiku (up
late shtupping shikses!).
