A fun experiment:..
Irony
I don’t think that they exist,
not really,

surrounding various parts of our lives…
“London Bridge is falling down, falling down…” the children sang as they spun around…
The boy had never much liked swimming. It was always a hassle with the sand, salt, or chlorine, and he was never much good at treading water or any of the fancy strokes he was supposed to learn…
“Do you think there are giants in the woods?”

“Well Mr. Jones, you’ve given us all a fright,” the doctor said soothingly.
“Will there be any lasting changes?”
It’s really quite sad,
they’re just big hulking wire heaps…
“Why do they always act like we can’t keep a secret?”
“I don’t know, maybe they’re just rude.”
We’re really quite bad,
at telling how we work,
which it something that surprised me…
