A
Message
Delivered
In a bottle
By nature's postman
Who's it for? Who's it from?
A cry for help? Love letter?
How long has this note been floating
On the surface of the ocean deep?
Time to open and reveal the secret

    I’ve always wanted to find a message in a bottle, but I’ve never thought about the fact that it could contain something bad!

    Wonderful thoughts. Please open the bottle, but only if there is a note in it. All other bottles only after work has been done. Because their secret will kill you later. :-))
    —How are you today,Sis?
    I hope you have overcome the usual displeasure. Best wishes, Michael
