my good right hand, my steady head,
my rock, my heavy sugar pepper,
my safety valve, my trouble stepper,
my better half, my sturdy oak,
my haven, refuge, reef and cloak,
my life-preserver, my umbrella,
my parachute, my cyclone cellar,
my goose that lays the golden egg:
sweet greetings from your easter (P)eg.
