Allow me the privilege of stopping to stare— At a pretty young girl with bright purple hair. Or, that buxom maiden who has quite a pair The one wearing no bra, standing over there. A brash young fellow with cap turned around Britches pulled down--almost to the ground. A grossly fat dude tattooed head down to toe With a breath-takingly beautiful lady...

Fried chicken fingers, buffalo wings, Chicken Little stared up at the sky. One-eyed, one-horned, eating purple people, Aren’t we glad that cows don’t fly? Mother may I, hide ’n’ go seek; A green light! Go, dog, go! The owl and the kittycat went to sea With the pretty maids all in a row.
