Frenzy. I am covered with steam.
Optimistic. That someone will open the door.
Good. You’re here

Good. You’re here

Three Sisters
I was not one
Laughing critics, relaxed musical forms
Till death do us part – I’m left behind, for now

Limerick
Borealis
When naming a pig, please opine
Or you’ll end up by naming a swine,
For Boris is classy
And Alice is sassy
But Borealis is kind of half assy! (Even for the lowly pig)
Or you’ll end up by naming a swine,
For Boris is classy
And Alice is sassy
But Borealis is kind of half assy! (Even for the lowly pig)
Limerick
Farsighted
There once was a girl with green eyes,
Who teetering looked at the skies.
To her delight and relief.
The clouds shared no belief,
No heavenly visions surprised. (Whew!)
Who teetering looked at the skies.
To her delight and relief.
