 If anyone knew where they were
it would be the end of the Unicorns.

 The one with the wings is the Queen.

Especially when Val’s cousin, Bubbles
Found HER trout recipe
On page seventy three
Evie's reputation is...

Well, la di da, just look at you.
I see how far you’ve climbed.
You think the common words you speak
sound like sweet poems rhymed?

So are you really all that great?
That sparkling new veneer
you show to us – with a few swipes

MONA LISA

For ten years his paint brushes danced to the motion
of his hands on a white Lombardy poplar panel,
creating inimitable effects with the image he created –
Yes! Of one Lisa Gherardini, wife of a nobleman,
Francesco del Giocondo.
For ten years he handled his painting like a...

In a frontier town of Oregon
lives a rascally son of a gun.
He’s taking on louses
that beat up their spouses.
I can hardly believe that’s my son!

Stored food for the winter, so I'm a little rotunda
Not worried a bit
Soon be back in fit
How I make it though winter, it's a won-da!

Well, there is only one way to say this
the best one man can
to put this down in words
to explain it to you my woman...

Okay, you're the grand slam home run
that won the world series
a touchdown late in the fourth quarter
by that Seattle quarterback, you know...

On the day of Christmas Eve,
of which I was only three,
my mommy and daddy told me
Santa'd leave presents under the tree!

Sure enough, there were presents there,
but none of them were for me!
All of them were for my brother and sis,
like an XBox, a makeup kit,...
