Obelisk Lampshade

I burned the candle in a color of glass Tiffany shade made the light shine last Pillar of silver with the bit at it’s base Don’t need a cord to brighten your face . I’m under the cover and looking up right Washingtones dance to my beat at night George ol’ boy, quite a game you’ve played The Gal with the smile, IS the lampshade. ;) Shall we dance ? lol!

Those tiffany lamps can cast some strange shadows, but only our Miss Izzy would come up with such an interpretation. Awesome, Izzy! Love you, Carolyn (And, yes, let's dance!)
