Pale and pasty, my face. Disappearing into stripes - regaling no stance. Gone - no trace. Red hair…freckles. Please, won’t someone ask me to dance? …heckles. Heart’s weak… Is there no chance?! Speak! Pale and pasty, my face. Please, won’t someone ask me to dance? Speak! 4/9/2022 Let's Minichu on zero Sponsor: Mohan Chutani

I thought every man ran toward red hair and freckles. " Red hair…freckles. Please, won’t someone ask me to dance? …heckles." this is why I dye my hair burgandy because I have the freckles.

I think red hair and freckles sound so cute, who could resist that? I hope you enjoy several dances, Kim~

Yeah, I saw that, didn't say anything right off, then, when I came back to mention, saw someone else did. The other may not be a "minichu", but it was a mini-masterpiece, IMHO. I read no fear into it, just a neat idea of a countdown to "click".

At least this one is correct. I didn’t realize the final lines were repeated lines.
