Two months is too little
They let him go
They had no sudden healing
To think that providence
Would take a child from his mother

Illinois Town Wants To Outlaw Eye-Rolling →
southpol:

“Go to hell” is when.
I’m thinking the person with two carts in the 10-item line is the one perpetrating “an act in such unreasonable manner as to alarm or disturb another, or to provoke a breach of the peace.”

In a short time ice began to form on his wings and he fell to earth in a barnyard, almost frozen. A cow passed by and crapped on the little sparrow. The sparrow thought it was the end. But, the manure warmed him and...
