They delegate their tails to tell-and...

For four years I've longed to shout 'Adios!'

My house was made
for a family of three
So it turns out to be

Bless me with enough smooches, 
That I may confess the blunt honesty of thy will. 
Bless my heart with painting in thy words, 
To such extent you know my testimony is your grace.
