bible hawk
rose mike
white seas
this is the lang of the proper
saint
we left the show to see
the boats
when one thing becomes the other
why I can’t sleep in the shower?
this is the back of the wallet
where the money turns red
right now with the animated piggy
just
like a clock monster up at the hour of monstering
I’m
talking about the friendly sesame street monsters, not scary monsters
aha!
the smart horse was named to the president’s table for the third straight year
earth
is in hiding
that’s
what it’s doing way out here in the milky way
gumby up
gully gulch
would you like a diet coke to smoke?
in the sea tree
a
clean heaven of the snowy earth
that
miracle jones to summon a carlson
sleeping
lion was a calm red of the wolf
better
than biff
that common ultra
saturn
for the charge of monsters
be
the cold one in the egg
the
king of the winter snows
walking
the dream dog in sears
to shape the furstfume or dust of the widge
splat!
went the frowning frogger
the
stan the musial dream for the toast to talk
being a brain harp
a
hair tomorrow of the clean day
that
breakroom face
when
chuck was ice
the
world of the coming back to why
the
cheer of the talking house to stand with my friend
a
low earth that week and we need that friend to be the word
the
chance to win that apple
to
decide with that friend of the talk to hear of the world
the
sun in the sentence of the crowd
the cough was a bulletin bull
to
grow aloud in silence
the
friend of the sheep gets a glass of the milk
