Purpose

It’s easy to get carried away by the waves. I can float as much as I desire. But the waves might not take me to where I want to go. Even worse, I might find myself brought ashore an island inhabited by cannibals or get trapped into a whirlpool. The colorful underwater world can be [...]

Cavity in my heart and dandruff in my tummy
Oh! This pencil is so very yummy
Mangoes are ripe and the cat is chummy
Playing in the mud, wriggle-jiggle, splash-thrash, gooey-gooey gummy
