This is a rich and flavorful pastry.
Connoisseurs from all over find them tasty.
However, here is the situation:
Most people around here have an education.

Perhaps that is why these pastries are not selling.
Educated persons can see your bad spelling.
Do I have to tell you over and over again?
It is not spelled N-A-P-O-L-I-A-N.

One thing can be determined.  It is easy to see.
You do not need intelligence to work in a bakery.

A Maypole Dance

Boys opted to dance as the groups were selected,
A boy paired off with a girl formed a group,
The pole fifteen to eighteen feet affair,
With ten different colored tough ribbons.

The post stood centered within a big round,   
Colorful strips barely touched the ground,
Along with other pairs we formed a circle;
Each pair picking to hold them in their arms:

The music began to play and we walked,
Watching pair in front keeping steady pace,
Each step kept drawing us near to the pole;
Music stopped; restarting us to reverse.

Next we wove around pairs in meshed styling,
Ribbons pleating over the shinning pole,
Evening sun shone with the rainbow shaft;
Boys never returned to this silly craft.

Life
lies hate and love 
all makes up the world we live in
but who knows what will happen with the help of be young 
sadness,caring and sorrow 
are three things we feel the most
happiness,joy,and laughter is what Iwould love to hear from coast to coast
I know that we will get better as days go on and on
we began to feel different not just different but happy
we hear the sounds of earth ringing but yet we don`t answer
why not?
I ask?

or we can live in it the hard way'cause
