You are an athlete .
And I can’t even stand !
Burnt
I burnt down a swimming pool.
My next trick: an iceberg!
Held Back

Disneyland is weird.
Great
Man it so could have been great.
Woman it so could have been great.
Fret
I swear it is the last time.
Don’t fret, my little ochre space-dog.
Tree
I asked a tree.

Vampires
You’ve seen vampires.
They look into your eyes and say they love you.

Without a bum my pants will fall down.

My noun went pro.
I still have my amateur status.

Socks for sandwiches.
Trade in your old socks now.

Listen to their demands.

A pony is a unicorn that has lost its horn.

Most of them are about you.
