Premium Member Now I Am More Likely To Say Yes
Would you like to see the prettiest spider in the whole world? I said “No!” over and over. Finally agreeing, because my week had been boring. The spider was more beautiful than expected.

The One Least Likely
The One least likely to understand, Was the One who knew the most On broken knees, I cannot stand, But haunt, do I, as wraith or ghost The One least likely to be subtle, Was as gentle as a Lamb And, Oh! My emotions, deeply muddled- Woe is me is all I am!...
