I can see.. Written by Rabab (2/9/2011 5:34 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Glad you brought it up, penned by BarbaraB

how these lines...

Each day some willing victim bleeds,
To satisfy my strange desires.

...can be explained by innuendo

but how could they be explained literally if you accept that the answer to the riddle is chimney-sweep...?

I'm sure I'm missing something!
