[E] I never thought it [Abm] could have happened to me.
[E] I never thought it [Abm] could have happened to me.
[A] On the morning of my eldest daughter's second [B] wedding, I blacked out.
[E] They said it was just stress, [B] but I don't think so.
[E] I couldn't remember [Abm] the fifteen minutes before.
[E] A white-haired, half [Abm]-Samoan girl from Darwin [A] gave me a robot and said [B] she'd let me call her.
[E] But what it was she said, [B] I couldn't say it either.
[E] Now that clearly didn't happen, I [Abm] consulted my Egyptian grammar
[E] on page 333 [Abm] with a hieroglyph for Mordecai [Ab] the [E] hermit.
I combined this with the Levit [Abm]-back shell, as it felt I was [E] instructed.
I Xeroxed it and posted it down by the [Abm] bike office at the Oriental Institute.
[A] Maybe another world entity would see it and [B] pass it on to those responsible.
[E] That kind of thing [B] must happen sometimes.
[E] Now that clearly didn't happen, I [Abm] consulted my Egyptian grammar
[E] on page 4428 [Abm] with a hieroglyph for [Ab] French [E] commandos.
I met a mean-faced [Abm] someone, shouting out for whatever it was in.
[E] There were seventeen sections of [Abm] symbols in the orchestra,
and a bunch of over-sewed-it sand.
[A] Your youth is lost in [B] Italy.
Seeing [E] it can make small mistakes [B] only steals.
[E] Now that clearly didn't happen, [Abm] I consulted my Egyptian grammar
[E] on page 556 [Abm] with a hieroglyph for [Ab] Bluejay.
