And also unlike model T

But what I refer to is no early car
And it isn’t a cute little...

Showering you with kisses
Was a bridge
To a tranquil tomorrow.
Through nights so long and deep,

VULTURE BEESTheir feeding habits seem unusual.

With powerful mandibles they chew the dead
and then mix it with the sweetest nectar

the cub takes a few tentative steps,
her paws sinking into the soft,
loamy soil.
With each cautious movement,
