The Funny Language

Marriage

Alright, I got this from an e-mail, so don't hold me for it: #CASE 1 Getting married is like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, then when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that. #CASE 2 At the cocktail party, one woman said to another, "Aren't you...

Fable - The Bird in Deep Shit

Back to my high school portfolio. After the sonnet, I have found this fable me and 2 of my peers have wrote.
