Jezzel

Jezzel, what are you doing using Chat?
How you ::giggle::! How you flirt ;-) ! How you <tease>!
What is it you're trying to do to me?
Ah, Jezzel, what is it about the format
of your text, your punctuation, that
brings me back again to see
just what it is and how you'll say to me
all those things you say when we're chat-chatting away?

The hours grow and the charges pile up,
and I wonder, are you employed by an
online service, so clever and seductive,
to lure me in? even though I'm trying
to resist you — to control myself —
while your every <grin> and <smile> draws me back, Jezzel.
