...I got a curse
A witch appeared
And made me small

But he had problems getting to his act.
He kicked away the juggling balls,
And left the bubbles jar intact.
With arms outreached,
He couldn't find his riding...

You would have felt joy
You would have felt sorrow
You might have been bored; now and then

Neck hair risen, toes curled

All were feeling cold
Praying to get asho...

a pattern quite distinctive in the dark.
Silhouettes on the window shade displayed
two hands that met two others; formed an arc.
The hands, from arms ou...
