So not funnyNo so funny, man,
Feeding me spam,
Morbidly yours, all right,
More verbs, how blight,

In the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

She couldn't remember
Why she...

She was then in love but still a novice,

The beauty of the season and it's golden luster

And my annual trip to the back adjuster...

who almost gave up his life for me

My heart is certainly ablaze
And you’re probably acrazed
Somewhere.
