      Dear

      _
      My
      roommate
      is
      always
      complaining
      about
      my
      smelly
     
     
      _
      feet.
      It
      really
      bothers
      me
      when
      he
      takes
      it
      upon
     
    

    
     
      _
      himself
      to
      tell
      every
      visitor
      that
      we
      have
      about
      them.
     
     
      '
      Just
      the
      other
      day
      at
      the
      library
      he
      was
      telling
      my
     
    

    
     
      _
      girlfriend
      how
      bad
      they
      rotted.
      What
      can
      I
      do?
      Is
     
    

    
     
      :
      there
      acure
      or
      do
      I
      have
      to
      change
      my
      socks
      everyday
     
     
      (after
      |
      buy
      some).
      Please
      offer
      me
      an
      alternative.

      I
      know
      how
      difficult
      this
      must
      be
      for
      you,
      but
      do
      not
     
     
      despair.
      Forget
      those
      who
      tease
      and
      scorn
      you,

      they
      are
      the
      uneducated
      and
      simple-minded.
     
     
      They
      will
      never
      be
      able
      to
      appreciate
      the
      sheer

      the
      gifts

      you
      have
      been
      given
      and

      proud
      to
