I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all.
To keep your marriage brimming, With love in the loving cup, Whenever you're wrong, admit it; Whenever you're right, shut up.
Any kiddies in school can love like a fool,/ But hating, my boy, is an art.
I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree. Indeed, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all.
The sky is now indelible ink, The branches reft asunder; But you and I we do not shrink; We love the lovely thunder.
Time is so old and love so brief, love is pure gold and time a thief. We're late, darling, we're late, The curtain descends, everything ends, too soon, too soon.
This is my dream, It is my own dream, I dreamt it. I dreamt that my hair was kempt. Then I dreamt that my true love unkempt it.
The reason for much matrimony is patrimony.
When I remember bygone days I think how evening follows morn So many I loved were not yet dead, So many I love were not yet born.
Some hate broccoli, some hate bacon I hate having my picture taken. How can your family claim to love you And then demand a picture of you?
To love is an active verb.
My garden will never make me famous, I'm a horticultural ignoramus.
The trouble with a kitten is that it eventually beomes a cat.
Progress may have been all right once, but it has gone on too long
