_bump_ Here’s a bunch, since everybody seems stuck on the current ones which I don’t know either, (and since I will not google and feel subsequent shame): You see me on the street, you always act surprised. What do you say to me that you don’t mean, and in what state would you rather see me? Mother doesn’t go out anymore. She just sits at home and does what? After all, there’s only just the two of us, and here we are, still fighting for our what? I’ve got a bike, you could ride it if you’d like, it’s got a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good. I’d give it to you if I could…but what? She is changing her name from Kitty to what? To which animals would you throw me “because there’s order in the pack?” Take him out to look at the queen, only place that he’s ever been…and what will he shout out? Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say what? And in the end you pack up, fly down south, hide your head in the sand. Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of what disease? When everything’s made to be broken, what do I just want you to know? Here’s you one chance, Fancy, don’t do what? ---
