"Eight piggies in a row, Oh
Eight piggies in a row. Could they laugh? no no!
Could they cry? no no!
There were eight piggies in a row..."
- this is a song from one of Raffi's children's CDs that freaks me out.
"But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know"
-Gotye, Somebody that I used to know
"A fish hawk fell from a dead tree and thrashed the river,
clawing up another trout. I thought, sure,
to have tumbled so far
and finally to have reached a beginning."
-David Bottoms, Montana Wedding Day
"Turtles really have long legs,
But they don't stretch 'em out
Until its very late at night,
And then they run about,
Racin' over hill and field,
Until mornin' comes - and then
They curl 'em back inside their shells
And crawl around again."
-Shel Silverstein, The Truth About Turtles
