Dear Mr Sandman

In reply to the message from you I found posted to my front door, stating you didn't want to come sprinkling your sand here anymore, I am so sorry for the accidents that have lately occurred, as in the one where I had left my five pairs of shoes on the floor by my bed, and you tripped over them and landed right on your head, or that night I forgot to lock my pit bull up, and sure enough you got savagely attacked, and lastly when I thought you were a burglar, and my baseball bat hit your head with a very loud whack, I humbly apologize and will be more careful next time, I'll put my shoes away and the dog will be locked up, and make sure your not a burglar so I wont be so quick to use my baseball bat, so please come back and sprinkle an extra dose of sand next time, as its been nearly over a week since I got any sleep!

Hes the Greek god of dreams "the sandman" If you read graphic novels check out the sandman novels by Neil Gaiman they're fantastic...

Isn't Sandman the villain in a Spider-Man movie? I didn't know he has found a new hobby of sprinkling sand into people's shoes haha.
