She bustles
her boys out of bed
grouse, groan, growl
groggy gripes

I feel the need to say a real loud poem, 
A poem full of WAILS!! HOWLS!! and YELPS!!
It doesn’t need to be about anything at all,
But if it is then I guess that that helps.

Here's a more detailed approach
you don't need to be advised or coached
our behaviours

Long legged pixie hop. Circles in the grass. Encircled by the firelights. Duties in the pass. Awaken one oh global one. Assisting virally everyone. Mission paths on grasses. Enshrouded in such myth. Vital is the...

English is a widely used language
wherever you travel, it's found
So isn't it just a little ironic
that we English go mess it around.
The alley between rows of houses round here
is commonly known as a 'gitty'

Mouthful from a keytchup...
