Leaf litter's monster weapon, what can you say

We laughed together at our own lame jokes,
And those huge trampolines at 20 we jumped ;

Slender and white, a pathos as of smiles

The guarded heart against excess of rain.

And that we paid five hundred more wagers tonight in a club

Sailing high and low, and smoothly safe amidst the turbulent snaps of waves and typhoon strikes;
As I lay in bed, a smile in my lips and a peaceful mind indeed!
