Daedalus watched the birds on high,
And wished that he could also fly;
But he did more than wish, bright man,

Where a wicked old witch had once placed her,
And day after day, from hour to hour,
Deep boredom and lonliness faced her.

And deep mozzerella,
Ground beef and mushrooms
Make life vita bella;

live a very tiny family in a walnut shell;
You may pass them by and never know,
for they're very, very small in their bungalow.

Drain the bowl, and fill! ”

“That’s my own affair.”
“You’ll wake up the kid.”
“I don’t friggin’ care.”

when the fog rolls in and covers the land,
when the moon is hidden in a cloudy sky,
and the night is as dark as a raven's eye,
...
