The tap drips and keeps me awake,
In the morning there will be a lake.
For the want of a washer the carpet will spoil,
Then for another my father will toil.
My father can snuff it while he is at work.
Dad, fit a washer don’t be a burk!
Pandora!
I adore ya.
I implore ye
Don’t ignore me.
Little Brown Horse
Eating apples in a field,
Perhaps one day
