i have always been a woman who arranges things

for the pleasure--and the profit--it derives. i have always been a woman who arranges things

like furniture and daffodils and lives. if you want your sister courted

brother wed

or cheese imported: just leave everything to me. if you want your roof inspected

eyebrows tweezed

or bills collected: just leave everything to me. if you want your daughter dated

or some marriage consummated

for a rather modest fee. if you want a husband spotted

boyfriend traced

or chicken potted: i'll arrange for making all arrangements

just leave everything to me. if you want your ego bolstered

muscles toned

or chair upholstered: just leave everything to me. charming social introductions

expert mandolin instructions: just leave everything to me. if you want your culture rounded
