Ply Them With Balsam

My climbing rope is broken better fix it said the excitable culprit A praying mantis was in my sandwich it provided a challenge crunch crunch went my dentures Please don't force the hyacinths let them blossom in their own time Please don't be too eager again If your fingers grow stiff ply them with balsam if not rub them with ash Teddy bear don't let the shadows get you Depend on somebody Watch over for the angels we never meet
