Poignant imagery! Children these days, ah, but they will age! Hopefully gracefully! Grand poem! Your sam loves you, too!

Chew
Shobana have mercy on a poor soul who is already getting a high from your poem.
I don't feel I need a second banana, it is 7am and caffeine did seem a poor fix.
If you can get a few beans, no it might stain my my night-shirt. Very explicit but that's what it's all about.

Re: excellent and don't those nuts give a person a high.
They do Kabu after years of chewing on it. Thanks so much for the lovely visit.

There's something great to be said about childhood. Children are so enlightened.
