is just sorta to enter tame.
Then, once inside ~
go completely hog wild ~
showing no reserve,
showing absolutely no shame.

Deva Ossig, the landlady (and property owner) turned rogue

Just a couple weeks shy

Housekeeping not a strong suit with the missus

HABITAT FOR WILD (Satis Shroff)

In the middle of winter he heard his croak sing.

Die Dame mit den silbernen Haaren
sitzt vor ihrem Wohnungseingang
Und denkt über ihr Leben nach.
Ihre Tochter Androula ist wohlauf in Deutschland,
Ihr Sohn Janis lebt mit seiner Frau in Athen.
