I paid the Cleveland Browns their wages for housework, they took with them the now figure skating penguins.

As they were leaving through the back door, the marching band returned and serenaded me with classic 1940’s Suessical tunes, on their kazoos’.

“Please go now!,â€? I demanded, for I was in need of some quiet time alone.
I poured a glass of Fruit loops and baked some pudding.
