Their cushion-floor, his viscous poly-paste breath comes out.

Wall-paper world is shattered by his shout. a boy in blue is
busy
Banging out a headache on the kitchen door. all the while graham
Slept on, dreaming of a world where he could do just what he
wanted
To.

good
Boy. no thugs in our house, are there dear? we made that clear,
we

Fizzled out. her little tune is such a happy song. her son is
Innocent, he can't do wrong, 'cos dad's a judge and knows
