Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!  
Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered,  
A sword-day, a red day, 'ere the sun rises!  
Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin, and the world’s ending!

This is what I learned at the hospital. You have to do everything you can, you have to work your hardest, and if you do, if you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining.

This is Dr. Ives. He’s in the Nephrology Lab. I was in there a little while ago, and he was suddenly taken ill, and I thought I’d better get him over here right away. He had at that time perhaps an hour to live. Prompt treatment would have saved his life. As a staff doctor, he was seen without preliminaries… His vital signs were taken, an electrocardiogram… which revealed occasional ventricular premature contractions. An intern took his history… and then he was promptly… simply… forgotten to death.

No, it’s a fusion of jazz and funk. It’s called “junk”.

[Wow, so that is NOT from the Lion King. Welp, this is:]

Well the buzz from the bees is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot. And the baboons are going ape over this. Of course, the giraffes are acting like they’re above it all. The tick birds are pecking on the elephants. I told the elephants to forget it, but they can’t. The cheetahs are hard up, but I always say, cheetahs never prosper.

Thank you!  
I’m going to a casino later today to treat myself to the buffet (and maybe run a few dollars through the machines), so I certainly hope so.

March went out like a lion  
A whippin’ up the water in the bay,  
Then April cried and stepped aside  
And along comes pretty little May!
