scullery cooks with coloring books

A saucepan and a newspaper each have many uses. One which they share is: hat.

crab-dancing our way to the top


There's no ' I ' in 'Team.' Also, There's no ' I ' in 'hands' and, typically, there are no eyes in one's hands.

the floor is made of lava!

Even water would make a poor backpack for a duck.

no time like the right time (cont.)


A fight's a fight, as fights go,
Plans go as well as planned,
At night the light's too low to show
The water from the land.

There was a merchant clipper
With cotton, rum and clocks.
And though no wave could tip her,
She crashed upon the rocks.

The captain's blind in his one eye,
The first mate's blind in two,
The navigator's deaf and dumb,
These three are the whole crew.
They cannot swim, they're always drunk,
They only bathe in June.
They all refuse to leave their bunks
Until the afternoon.

The navigator was in charge
Of handling the goods,
But, though the crates were never large,
He never really could.
He brought aboard a load they'd bought
And handled without care.
He put the cotton on his cot
And forgot it was there.

The captain was a clumsy bum
And greedy as a snake.
Drank ev'ry last bottle of rum
He managed not to break.

The clock alarms rang through the air
And could've woke the dead.
The first mate smashed them past repair
And then repaired to bed.

There was a merchant clipper
With cotton, rum and clocks.
And though no wave could tip her,
She crashed upon the rocks.

there's no right way to tell someone they're not


With my head out the window I gave a tremendous cough that I had meant to be a shout. On the second try I weakly succeeded, but still recieved no answer. Another great sound thumped upon the roof and this time the entire ewer case fell, sending a wave of porcelain and handles across the floor. I leapt onto the halfcounter, half from shock and half to avoid the shards that had slid toward me. Hours passed without event. Unable to construct any alternative option, I fired one shot of pitch and one of shotfire, hollered out the window, very deliberately, that I certainly was glad that I wouldn't need to tend to the lawn from now on, stepped down from my precipice and began to mix breakfast.

two is how many for pairs

Someone once told me that, more often than not, there weren't any that you could not (more or less), that is, of course only under the strict specifications that the situation wasn't, as long as it isn't (or wasn't) or for the length of that during which it couldn't be.

today is everyday!



An important thing to remember would be that today is not everyday.

Despite warnings from old women to not end my sentence with a preposition, I have decided to press on.
