Where's the boy? Choir: Where's the man?

Boy rhymes with man. Like boys rhythm men. (Or does it?)

OR DOES IT?

Like HOMO likes SAPIENS. (LIKES)

YIKES!

(a Latin IMPERATIVUS): anima, ANIMA, anima, ANIMA

(where's the rhythm&rhyme?)

I didn't like BUKOWSKI (CONFESSIONIS, CONFETTI)

Where's the boy? Choir: Where's the man?

Up the Garden Path [a response to JD's "Like a Night in the Forest"]

The question posed in your last line is a most important one and is the subject one of my pet hates.

I am frequently preached at – rather, gaslit - by my local authority and various entities, about being “environmentally responsible”.
