Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimm’d; But thy...

There’s a skinny dog in a dirty parking lot. And he doesn’t bite, but he begs. And he knows what’s true so if you are, he’ll follow you if you’re headed home all the way. So we let him finish every dinner plate, and we watched his tail saying “thanks, thanks, thanks.” And we tried to name him, but he ran away once he knew his freedom was at stake....
