Do you carrot all for me?
My heart beets for you.
With your turnip nose
And your radish face,
You are a peach.
If we cantaloupe,
Lettuce marry.
Weed make a swell pear.

ReplyDeleteI'm a little confused here. Who are you guys talking about?
ReplyDelete"Architecture of Happiness"?
the School of Life?
Alain de Botton?
PA: I follow a blog from the School of Life--it's on my blog roll to the right. Alain do Botton-- search him on Wikipedia--is one of the school's founders and the author of "The Architecture of Happiness" and "The Consolations of Philosophy."
