Q-Tips
In charge of the museum store,

“What does that mean?” I asked.
She answered,

Tips Giving Drips
When you are down with low mood
You can recover if you are shrewd
When someone discourages badly
No doubt he behaves very rudely
In case you accept discouragement
Your mind indulges in bad-Government

And takes him to the stars

During the day he is in pain
He gets shots, and he does not understand
But he
