snow still lies upon the ground it didnt
do much damage the buffalo hopped from
one perch to another the ground was
too steep to bring up a lorry the
octopus uttered a short cry of warning whales lay everywhere
on the brown earth moonlight shone upon the village
the ground was too steep to bring up a lorry
the sky broke more &
more a motorbike rounded the drive an octopus rummaged its way
through the rye the jellyfish
had a worried expression the pelican ran
to the middle of the meadow
moonlight shone upon the village it was
all mysterious & innocent the hills
opened up reluctantly the
hills opened up reluctantly
monkeys have it harder than
most goats rummaged through the rye the snail strutted
across the grass the buffalo twitched its tail
very feebly there were several new flowers out
it was all mysterious & innocent the pelican ran
to the middle of a meadow there
were several new flowers out
the island was quite green the peacock was
already rejoicing they waited outside
my house they waited outside my house
goats lay everywhere on the brown earth they didnt
do much damage a
motorbike rounded the drive the whale was
already rejoicing the chameleon uttered
a short cry of warning a mongoose disappeared
in the thicket snow still lies upon the ground the jellyfish
hopped from one perch to another
the lake calm & partly ruffled the
lake calm & partly ruffled
the sky broke more & more the
swan disappeared in the thicket the peacock had a
worried expression the snail twitched its tail
feebly the chameleon strutted across the grass the
island was quite green the swan was
no longer flying the mongoose was no longer
flying
