The breast of this dada heaves with remorseful painful ache as if...the insides of my body into a bajillion pieces break though anniversary of birth, I intended to write, but... did rake akin to hot coals, an overwhelming agony wrought urgent compulsion to slake expunging sudden onset, shook me awake, how this papa brought years of heartache, upon an innocent newborn, oh no...definitely "not fake," and her elder protective sibling Eden (understandable not to forgive), - who lake (like) an "uber quasi mother" did welcome thee with a fair shake (twenty Earth orbitz ago February 4th, 2019) metamorphosed into such an adoring, giving, and loving lass unbeknownst, when she did make her debut (passing the Apgar test with flying colors) for goodness sake cuz, I betcha you studied while in utero, thus said standard assessment involving intake and outflow of breath as seconds old infant piece of cake, and unexpected eruption of despair, thus found me sinking into melancholy air and compounded as "mother", and I became aware how cognitive skills (additionally low body weight) clear lee delayed triggering screaming bouts from thee dear special Punim, and oft times this papa flare with frustration and volley with reciprocated enraged voice imbecile and juvenile antics of mine clear lee heard outside 1148 Greentree Lane neighbors possibly a grizzly bear broke loose from the zoo, or other beast escaped their lair, thus prompting me to post a sign beware of the ferocious father, and dare to enter at your own risk, and do not forget to mutter a prayer lest ye be swallowed in one fell swoop, and nobody would hear from that person again cannibalized by Matthew Scott mailer daemon, whose surly mood embittered by rare stints of employment, otherwise we lived dirt poor surviving on diet of worms, I swear to be totally "FAKE", but hyperbole to lyft shaky spear writs.
