it was a smallish 
 gathering... 
with 
 two exceptions,  
 all attendees 
brought 
their fetishes....some of which arrived unleashed...  
others 
 could be heard  
scratching and nibbling 
 at the 
etuis, shoulder bags,  
 bandanas  
and crockpots in which they were confined...
delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........
