A Fable from the The War On Women
Arthur Danin Adler

On a lazy, warm, cloudy summer's afternoon, a boy and a girl are playing hide-and-seek.

He says: When I find you, I'm going to spank you.

She says: I'm hiding.

When I find you, I'm going to slap you.

I'm hiding.

When I find you, I'm going to punch you.

I'm hiding.

When I find you, I'm going to give you candy.

I'm hiding.

When I find you, I'm going to give you ice cream.

I'm hiding.

When I find you, I'm going to give you a dolly.

I'm hiding.

When I find you, I'm going to hug you.

I'm hiding.

When I find you, I'm going to tickle you.

I'm hiding.

When I find you, I'm going to kiss you.

I'm hiding.

If I find you, I'm going to take off all my clothes and paint myself blue and never say another word.

He says: I'm hiding.

She says: You're in the closet.
