And -

Sturdy trousers of indigo with seams reinforced by rivets and wide in the hems, you have caused me to make inarticulate sounds of grief and pain accompanied by a profusion of liquid from my organisms of sight.

I’ll put a few in a single post. Just reference the post number and letter to answer.

(a) An opposable appendage at the end of a forelimb appears; an automobile passes. Is it not possible for an operator to halt his or her machine and aid a gentleman? I am seeking transport in another’s conveyance.

(b) My young lady is enamoured of the act of affection, my young lady is enamoured of the act of affection; she has that which it requires, and is aware of the manner in which to utilize it.

© Sweet edible crystalline carbohydrate; oh, product of an apiary, product of an apiary; you are my flavoured confection, young female; and you have put me in a position where I am desiring you.

(d) It seems to me that you are unclean and saccharine; arrayed in ebony, I enjoin you not to reverse your view; and I am enamoured of you…

#43(c.) - “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies.

#44/a. “Hey, Joe” by Chet Williams.

Which raises a question. In my search for the earliest recording of this old tune, I’ve only found the version by The Leaves from 1965. But I could swear I heard this song first on the radio in the '50s. Who sang it then?

Whistle a tune for me, you are the one who makes music with your voice  
Arrange a perilous situation for me, you bear upon your shoulders the tendency to act without regard for another’s feelings or desires  
The fallen angel, formerly second-in-command to Jehovah, has not the capacity for crafting, designing, arranging, organizing, or any other type of creation  
When you donate fewer and fewer items, you become one who acquires things from others with no reciprocation  
The path continues beyond all reckoning of time, it’s Paradise and the Inferno.

A person enthralled with the state of self-aware existence is not one who bears the tendency to act without regard for another’s feelings or desires  
The termination is equivalent to the initiation  
As you narrow the distance between yourself and the definition of what you wish to know  
Less time is required for you to realize that you are in a state of permanent somnambulation  
The path continues beyond all reckoning of time, it’s Paradise and the Inferno.

Should something appear to have substance, it will become ephemeral  
All time segments of genuine knowledge contain disorganized thinking while imbibing oxygen  
The emotional state of prioritizing another’s existence over your own, could be construed as the solution to what you are seeking  
However, exsanguination does not exist for one who gyrates rhythmic motions with their hands, arms, and waist  
The path continues beyond all reckoning of time, beyond all reckoning of time, beyond all reckoning of time…

Wise men speak about the state of self-aware existence being naught but a merry-go-round quickly rotating, you must hang on for dear life  
Earth contains a plethora of monarchs who will gouge out your eyeballs and prevent you from achieving a state of permanent somnambulation  
It’s Paradise and the Inferno, oh no  
Lack of color is equivalent to the full spectrum of light  
A planet’s satellite is equivalent to a mid-sequence star behind a planet  
As you perambulate through a wide, straight passage composed of a soft yellow metal, you are permitted to acquire any soft yellow metal which drops from the ceiling  
It’s Paradise and the Inferno, oh no, you idiot you idiot  
Exsanguination _must_ exist for one who gyrates rhythmic motions with their hands, arms, and waist, you idiot you idiot  
Seek the solution to the proposed mathematical equation  
you idiot, you idiot, you idiot

It is a matter of public record that a totality of people are familiar with the exploits of an unidentified but specific individual of avian extraction.

Further, said avian individual’s designator can further be identified as being a key singular lexicographical component; and it is indeed surprising that you were previously unaware of this orthinologically-natured fact, on account of the information being so widely disseminated as to be safely regarded as “Common Knowledge” by the general populace.

Ahoy, nubile female who has not yet attained her twentieth year! It is a shame that you do not recognize the singer of the song presently playing on the juke box, for it is by a monarch, not of a country, but of a musical genre known as “soul”.

Does my lament over this fact imply that I have lost my sanity, or rather does it mean that I have advanced beyond the age at which you would consider having relations with me?

I’m going to tell you about a special location. It isn’t in the city or even a small town. It’s a secret place, whose whereabouts are revealed to but a select few. It belongs to Fred, my Mom’s brother. It is in its present location because it was formerly used to raise agricultural products and perhaps livestock. At least that’s what Fred told me. But then the Senate passed legislation prohibiting the use of certain types of machinery, and thus interfered with the economic feasibility of the business, as the tasks of harvesting would henceforth have to be done by hand.
