You heard about, "be your own man" OO OO
You talk alot and loud U U

Jesse Schlotterbeck
Watershed year comes jschlot@depauw.edu
You're flush with fever
The richest junk dealer
Honestly, a book you read once lets you
Think in rhyme. The old extreme sits
Pale and molds now for the
Millionth time
Wilma's rainbow of peaceful colors
The richest junk dealer
