Expressed his shy reluctance, but encouraged by his mum.

Aiming your temper before the lenses,
Jostling your tongue with hatred,
Just because you failed to agree,

Was it his head tilt that stumped me—
Was it his keen variations of hilarity,
Was it his words—wild, strange, free,
Like a bird straight out of captivity?

Of a Savior with ardent heart burning

His Brazilian arms are swinging doors, open to embrace

You might say that I'm just an atom,
But the universe, I extoll.
I view everything in creation
As one big shape shifting soul.

Even individual beings' bodies

Refrain the French with such - and - such.
'Gainst Germans I'd my victory forge,
Churchillian chants in Cheddar Gorge.

Once upon a midnight dream
Of fantasy in flight
I fought the degradation 
Of a dragon’s appetite
