Dear Clarice
I have followed with enthusiasm
The course of your disgraceand public shaming
My own never bothered me
Except for the inconvenienceof being incarcerated
But you may lack perspective
In our discussions down in the dungeon
It was apparent to methat your father
The dead night watchman
Figures largelyin your value system
I think your successin putting an end
To Jame Gumb's careeras a couturier
Pleased you most
Because you could imagine your father being pleased
But now alas you're inbad odor with the FBI
Do you imagine your daddy being shamed by your disgrace
Do you see himin his plain pine box
Crushed by your failure
The sorry petty endof a promising career
What is worst aboutthis humiliation Clarice
Is it how your failure
Will reflecton your mommy and daddy
Is your worst fear that people will now and forever
Believe they were indeed
Just good old trailer camptornado bait white trash
And that perhaps you are too
By the way I couldn't help noticing
On the FBI'srather dull public website
That I have been hoisted
From the Bureau's archivesof the common criminal
And elevated to the more prestigious
Ten most wanted list
Is this coincidenceor are you back on the case
If so goody goody
I need to come out of retirementand return to public life
Clearly this new assignmentis not your choice
Rather I suppose it ispart of the bargain
But you accepted it Clarice
Your job is to craft my doom
So I am not sure how well I should wish you
But I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun
Ta ta H
