Equals man's compassion.

Enrich all its senses.

Eventually, we knew she'd go,
Forgetting to remake her blooms;
Green grasses dried to ashen glow.

How happy was the month of May,
Inviting hopes for summer fun.

Vexed diners! We wait for
Venison steak meals but
Violins screeched out six
Viennese waltzes, the
Very drunk chef is sacked!
