Do I think Henry will call you?
Do you want kindness or truth?

Draw a straw and let the chips fall.
Ah, You have the short one.

No Henry will not call
Henry has never met you.

Henry likes to take a drink.
If there is a nip in the air
He will undoubtedly drink it.

Drinking makes him thirsty.

It takes only one drink
to make him drunk.
It could be the fourth
or it could be the twelth.

He drowns easily and dies.
Liquor mortis sets in.
Henry has never met you.
You spent the night with Hyde.

Hyde has no preference.
It matters not to him that
your I.Q. can be checked
with a tire pressure gauge.

Hyde knows that beauty
is only a light switch away...

And Henry will not call you.

Uriah,
The inferences are infinite.
