…sounds long, until…
…sounds long, but wait until you hear this…
She really deserved it.
…afternoons to play…
At least, not a real one…
XVI.
The clouds their backs together laid,
The north begun to push,
The forests galloped till they fell,
The lightning skipped like mice;
The thunder crumbled like a stuff—
How nice I have a gnome cave,
Where nature’s temper cannot reach,
Nor bigger people ever come!

I’ve seen a dying eye
Run round and round a room
In search of something, likely its head,
Then cloudier become;
And then, obscure with fog,
Annoyed at falling out,
Blink thrice in quick succession,
Surprised its eyelids were still attached.

The original.
…but you won’t believe what happened NEXT!
…that each can make but once…
…every now and then…
