    Willem couldn’t wait to get better so the veterinarian… I mean doctor… could take that collar off his neck.

    The size of the ruffle is a status symbol. The bigger it is, the more impressive. If you wear an entire radar dish around your neck, you get to be the Grand Poobah of Northern Outer Bumfuk.

    His hand to his heart he’d complain / about the long flight to Bahrain. / His chief peccadillo? / The best travel pillow / can’t help him to sleep on a plane.

    Against his black garb it glowed palely, / the hand which he exercised daily. / He’d flex his long thumb, / the better to strum / upon his antique ukulele.

    The bearded man groaned to a skeptic / that something he ate had been septic. / His ruff of white lace / surrounded a face / that couldn’t have looked more dyspeptic.

    The collar he proudly displayed/ was ever so artfully made/ but such fine macrame’/ would not last a day/ with his penchant for finding “ruff trade”.

    Having cued the spotlight, Pieter had only to put on his black gloves and step onto the darkened stage. Then he would be ready to perform his world-famous Floating Head Trick.
