An angel object
She holds a lantern
Held held high in her hand

I come before you holy;
Ah! but the pebbles on my feet are so rough; 
The mack daddy will flee, in pants of poly;

hath fallen off again;
Where's the Scotch tape? 
In a dress? A dress, address; 
Out west,

I called a cab, he loads donations
Into his van. Off we go for drop,
And get gas for my little gold car....

•	Her hair was afraid to move.
•	Church ladies called her daily to ask permission

•	So glad he did not raise his hand to ask for children.
        At least they were spared the control connoisseur....
