Wow. A+++ Dogs are amazing. I let Buffy out just now as my husband was leaving for work...he backed up the car and came back in to play with her. She had circled the house to chase his car up the street and he couldn’t just drive off. LMAO

Harry Reid, who’s Nevada’s King Venal
Has some pain in the area, renal
From a punch in the kidney
Screwed the mob over, did’n’ he?
Should be placed in a colony, penal

Venal banal Zero was sitting in a tree
Counting his horns (he made it to three)
When along came a Wookie
With a specially made cookie
And together they flew from the tree.

Happy April Fool’s Day

I think I like the archaic better myself.

Anyway, it's too easy. Insert comment of your choice about venality starring Boehner/McConnell/GOPe here.

Do I still get credit?
