Use of Arabs in Courtship "Do you like horses?" asked the vision of feminine pulchritude in the seat opposite me on the Metro subway on the way home one evening. Looking up from my "Arabian Visions" magazine, I realized I had about 15 seconds to capture her attention in this age of Attention Deficient Disorder. "Why yes, to see my arabian gelding is to be transported to the ambience of Persian deserts, to imbibe the fragrance of frankincense, muir and hashish... no scratch that, I mean herbs, ... to behold Pyramids, noble Beduin, and cloaky garments and veils!" Her eyes glazed over a bit so I redoubled my efforts to impress her. "He's related to the immortal Bask and Who Abu Who on his sire side and traces to Waddua in tail-female! Although both his parents are WAHO approved, he's still practically all arab! His birth caused a Crabbett Celebration and became an Egyptian Event!!!" Her hand reached for the tote bag where a copy of "Almost True Romance" magazine featured an article on "How to Avoid Dull Men". Desperately I tried a new direction - "He eats grass!" .. she smiled. "He lives in a barn!" .. Down came her magazine, she purred "Really!!" "Yes and - he has a soft nose!!!" She came over to sit beside me. "He runs fast!!!" ... "He neighs" ... "He prances" Aaah - KISS Have Fun! Bob Griffith and Panache
