[Newspoetry] NYTimes.com Article: Nepal Gets New living 'oddess'

[Mike Lehman]

Not a bad trade-off. Even I could manage to stay a virgin until puberty.
I think it is only reasonable, in this modern day and age, that an
ancient custom realized that all bets are off on virginity after
puberty.

The retirement plan could still use some work, though...

BTW, I realize they were talking about a goddess in most of the article.
I still would like to know more about who an oddess is an what he/she
does.
Or maybe not...
