Tallinda and Shortony

TalLinda and ShorTony lived on pretzels and baloney. stayed in northern Minnesota, drove around a pink Toyota, had two children named Miranda, Fed them on the back veranda, overlooking yesterday, where they loved to dance and sing Christmas carols in the Spring, We took thirty seven cents, bought a cat and paid the rent, Took off in a mini van, to try and make them understand that life is great in Butte Montana, or in Memphis or Savannah, But not in Yesterday at all. We won't be back until the Fall of parasols and red balloons, at twelve o'clock or maybe noon. So call me up and let me down, we'll be back somewhere out of town.
