Idle Hands

Idle hands Water plants They can dance And they chant Or can rant Sign language and Make a stance Give a chance Wake romance Hold a hand Be so grand Holding fan Bold and tan Can start again Understand Make a plan With woman Pray for man

Oh, good - you're dressed. Dogs chase cats, people eat snacks, no one knows if its navy blue or black, take the facts, deal with that, say - hey, may Karen's pen never slack, I love to laugh. Good night, Smiley
