As if we ever leave the place for very long.

“This is too difficult,” for sure.
The line is from Dorina’s opening
Aria. But a comic opera is, by far,
The easier puzzle and the most fun.
Far more evident the tomfoolery
When opera is the satiric object.
Ego and artifice, with baffoonery
And romance, all add to the effect.

Or maybe it’s the way you can’t count on the weather.

The treats are fine, but the method is divine:
Start out by choosing from the display of logs.
Position the merchant’s knife to the desired specs.
Watch as the chocolate crumbles onto the counter.
Then, after she’s scooped up the pieces and gone off
To weigh the big haul, she insists on inviting us
To gobble up all the remaining crumbs for free.
