Much like compliments, so do condiments
~ bring forth sweet temperaments
There is no such thing as a remarkable dinner
~ sans the remarks
we can talk about the world
till we’re blue in the face
what about us
what about us

marsupials are just mammals
pity duplicity
speech whenever trammeled
surceases clarity
