Which one of those 2 ladies is Robinson Crusoe? The other would have to be Friday.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good island, must be in want of a native named Friday.

Maybe this is a book about someone reading another book. Bookception!

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart, except hunting wild goats with a sharpened stick.

@jjhitt. Just as with a good woman, wild goats may also be eaten raw.

It is neither Robinson Crusoe, nor Pride and Prejudice.

It is that book about the famous football coach – Warren Pearce.

One lady is Friday. The other is April.
SO! If I did Friday on Tuesday, could I do April in March?

There once was a lady called Crusoe,
Who you could have when she gave you a clue so,
But her invite was handy,
When I was totally randy,
And I gladly would do so do so do so do so do so do so do so do so do so.
