Getting It Done All the weeds had made a cover without a root Tony leaped over the fence and asked:for a rake I have found out That a warrior says thanks to a grasshopper and a praying mantis It is hard and seldom heard; How leaping is memory And how wonder does not let it change. Seeing proud makes me happy and a neighborhood settled: Way far beyond an angle. coming over the fence
