    I'll hop a donkey. I am paranoid horse carouse,

    up and down, merry go rounds. I hate lemonade.

    Fresh squeezed powdered drinks make folk burp.

    sysprog. Please serve some cupcakes + ice cream.

    Jebbie is too old. And some people always fumble.

    Fu Man chew mustaches droops. Look melancholy.
