Authenticated Addressed Partial Letter Circa 1970 Part One

Attributed To Concerned parents of Traumatized Refugee Dear Fred and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump... Posthumous belated tattered letter fragment recently discovered (liberally sprinkled with hyperbole (presumed for greater audacious zealousness), sans accidentally acquired by yours truly. Miscellaneous personal item highly valued when thwarted from auctioneer, whose gently persuasion collectible merchandise requisitioned, thence keepsake property perfunctory mandatorily forfeited. Due compensation from sole male heir (me), whose long since (resting in eternal peace) papa suffered degradation, humiliation and understandable lamentation as a kid living in Flatbush. Authorities and expert legal scholars pieced together what probably comprised a lengthy epistle rivaling the Epic of Gilgamesh). Recollection recounted torturous, malicious, and flagitious mean spiritedness visited upon the ambitious, cadaverous, and timorous body electric high-jinxed introverted male, whose abstemious, conscientious, and nutritious dietary regime, could not forestall rigor mortis. A postscript (purportedly penned prior to once philosophical pensive poet's papa's passing) stated that said personage felt bitterness, disharmonious envious self loathing. That grownup man known as mine father, though once upon a time, said recently anonymous deceased old fogey ironically registered as an atrocious, cantankerous, and egregious deplorable high school student.
