“A Horoscope Prediction for the Goddess that You Are” By Martin H. Levinson

On coupon-Wednesday you will meet the man of your dreams

at the deli counter. He’ll be cloaked in a classy white uniform and

papier-mâché hat. Smile demurely at this sexy supermarket chevalier

and ask what he would suggest for people who love cold cuts like liverwurst.

If he replies “I don’t give advice on matters like that, I just slice the meat

the way the customer tells me to,” he’s the wrong fellow.

The guy next to him is your Adonis.
