WHEN'S TEA TIME? 7-8 PM 
                              Bronze Time
WHAT'S TEA TIME? YOU FIGURE 
                              IT OUT. <smile>


(1) IN 
                              SHAKESPEARE'S SONNET FORM, WE SET OUR 
                              SCENE:

UPON PACIFIC SAND, NEAR 
                              SUNNYDALE

AT STROKE OF TEA TIME 
                              HOUR, NOW ROUTINE,

THERE SUDDENLY 
                              APPEARS, LIKE AHAB'S WHALE, . . .


. 
                              . . AN ALL-GLASS STRUCTURE, WITH ONE SHIMM'RING 
                              WALL:

A TRANS'ENT PORTAL with 
                              its mysteries.

INSIDE, THE 
                              ORACLE who "makes the call"

on "who is 
                              worthy." Verse is all he 
                              sees.


WHAT SHALL YOU GAIN, IF 
                              THROUGH THIS PORTAL PASS?

Beyond a 
                              mastery of Shakespeare's form,

who 
                              knows what lies beyond your looking glass 
                              --

what acts of beauty, then, will 
                              you perform.


For some parts of this 
                              path you walk haiku.

Some 
                              stretches take blank verse. Then 
                              sonnet's coup.


(2)TODAY, OUR 
                              BUFFY EPISODE IS 
                              SIX:

"The Pack," where one 
                              rude clique "put's on the dog."

Their 
                              predatory human natures mix

with evil 
                              animal. The school's pet hog . . .


. . 
                              . is appetizer for their meal's main 
                              course:

the Principal. Poor Flutie -- 
                              "doggy" dung.

Thank goodness, Xander missed 
                              that scene's remorse,

but by that time he's 
                              found himself among . . .


. . . the 
                              pack -- though there are "virtues" to that 
                              place.

His confidence and sex appeal are 
                              strong,

when normally, he flutters to save 
                              face.

We can see why a pack may not seem 
                              wrong.


But Flutie and the pig . . . 
                              they know the score.

Attacking "others" . . 
                              . that's what packs are 
                              for.
