Let’s have a nice heaping helping of crap! Who is nibblin’ on bacon, chewin’ on cheese? Once I was swimming across Turtle Creek, with those snappers all around my feet. Why was it so hard swimming across that thing? In the quiet of the night is when the snake is in the crawling…then what happens? Where did you move like Harlow and what did you show them? What would make a happy glow for all the world to see? ---
