You would vex St Peter.
You would madden a saint.
He who take it easy gets it easy.
As deaf as a beetle.
As blind as a bat.
As stiff as a poker.
When you go to bed sleep.
You're as innocent as you look.
As gay as a lark.

There is a lining for every material.
There is a caonac on it now.
He would drink it out of a cow's track.
As sick as a dog.
If you don't want to get floured don't go into the mill.(continues on next page)- Collector
