if things happen like thick happenings
can it, adding first the nuts. loads of the nuts.
of course the squirrels are obvious too
obviously fur rabbits to even affect effect
ok love. just scoop some extra from a hart.
if things happen in thinning happenings
if happenings like happy thinning
let’s be loafers of loaves of laugh.
ok love. of course i thought it but too
obviously misunderstood too lovingly.
if things happen like…give me a pig king’s break!
what a heck in the happening? thick! think!!
what is he doing here? what extra?
are you hearing things? noise-nois-noi! i
have said nada about next stars.
ok love. let’s just call it the day.
