this is my first affair

the indigo sunset slowly seeped away the lion stared at the disappearing bush the cowboy tuned his guitar around the campfire the snake slithered through the dust the flounder avoided the hull of the boat the yak waited patiently in the shadows the janissary gave a lusty full-throsted yell joey made a face as he ate his yogurt the porcupine rested by the side of the road the aardvark watched him from behind a large rock the rhubarb grew wild the undertaker broke off a stalk he had never eaten wild rhubarb before his grandmother's exhortation to be careful what he ate surfaced in his brain the orangutan repressed a chuckle but quickly scampered away when the undertaker's baleful gaze fell upon him the bug crawled up the vine victory was in the air the gravy train pulled into the station the jaguar watched from behind the dumpster the bobcat gave the jaguar a wide berth and headed down the highway an apple fell from a tree at zero hour the walrus went back to sleep after eating the eggplant piano legs hickman stroked the ball to right with crisp authority and big ed delahanty came lumbering home
