(212)▪︎[ The Two Paths … 4•6•2021 ]
[ If There Were Two Paths To Take & The One To The
Left Made More Cents & The One To The Right Cost
You A Dollar Which One Would You Talk To. If There Was
Such A Thing As ( THE CALL OF THE WILD ) & There Was
Nobody There, Would It Go Straight To Voice-Mail
Or Would There Be A Busy Signal Because It Was A Monday
& They Never Made A Pre-Arranged, Triple Duplicate, Yellow
Meeting Invitations. If There Was A Meeting In The Wild Would It Need To Be Near A Path So People Could Swim Up To The
Bar Like They Do In The City? How Come People In The City,
Do Not Have More Pity, For The Itty Bitty 3 Nipple Kitty, That
Has To Live Through The Nitty Gritty, Having To Endure Hours & Hours Of ( THE VERY BEST of CONWAY TWITTY ), With A Fatty,
Bald Man Whose Disposition Is So Shitty, It Has The Kitty Taking
Trips Around Town, Walking On The Ground Up & Down The Hills.
Would A Tricycle Be The Easiest One To Ride Because It Starts
With The Word ( TRI )? If Yellow Was A Number How Tall Would
The Vowell Be?I Say ( YES ) Two That Equation. If You Had A
( QUESTION ) & The Word ( EQUATION ) In Front Of You,
Which One Makes You Think The Hardest? I Say Neither Because
They Are Just Words. Whenever You Get To 3 Syllable
Words Just Take Out The ( V ) & Then Go Home. If you Ever
Had A ( KNOME ) Or A ( CLONE ) In Your Home. Which One
Would Moan That They Owned The Rust Covered Scone By
Being In The Zone, Using The Itchy Tone, That Was All Groan?
Good Answer If You Circled ( C ) On The Number Chart. Is It
An Art To Be Able To Take Apart Your Fart Standing On
Top Of The Escalating ( REMEMBER TO SOUND OUT THE
2 SYLLABLE WORDS ) CART? Or Is That Just A Start For
Bart When He Shoots @ Darts? Good Answer To That
Phone Call. Have A Good Night.
