Cicero Once upon a town, a tiny town, Near Mexicali, actually There was a boy of no reknown, None at all, actually. He loved a girl, only one girl, And she was oh so cruel, But she was his whole entire world, And she came to love this too. They loved not too wisely, (You know the rest) He gave too much too quickly, For he couldn't give any less. Twice his heart was broken, Battered by her fickle ways, And on her memory he kept on chokin, Until this day, this day of days Something snapped inside his head Something he didn't hate but loved instead There from his hastily abandoned room Grew a lovely rose, a wondrous bloom. Now this boy from the tiny town The town of no, of no reknown He smiles knowing there are higher, Places he can go to find her. Her, that someone new. Her that to him finally will be true. 041004 ... silentbob once you wore my t-shirt to bed and i i wore nothing. 041005 ... lime rider rice trinckles out of the box into a pink shiny pan. that's a sound you'll never hear again.
