		or else I'm going to faint!
God! My head is spinning,
	I can't help it!
- Alright. But be a good boy and leave some for everyone else.

Spring after spring, there is no another season.

The movement of bowel

		between your eyes
			and your mouth
The correct precaution
		is
	to stand back and let your bowel deal with it by itself.

- The monster of super-id.

Experimental/Adventure
, by

It's never too late to look around,
	When there's nothing to play around,
		Even the plaster won't stick around.
What lies in you,
	Will never let you hang around,
		Not to mention fool around.
Holding yourself in the mirror,
	What it takes to just go around,
		Is not the answer to sleep around.
Look at you!
		Ravishment is a way to look around.

Sometimes,

Has mistaken it for 
		   knowledge.

			Until you take a 
				Bite.
But to know the truth,
	One should just take a
						Salad.
