“My day-old son is plenty scrawny, his mouth is wide with screams, or yawny; His ears seem larger than he's needing, His nose is flat, his chin's receding. His skin is very, very red, He has no hair upon his head, And yet I'm proud as proud can be, To hear you say he looks like me.” LooksSeemsSonHairProudMouthsRedSkinsEarsWideLike MePlentyNosesFlatsScreamChins Book:For Partly Proud Parents Source: For Partly Proud Parents
“Prostrate on earth the bleeding warrior lies, And Isr'el's beauty on the mountains dies. How are the mighty fallen! Hush'd be my sorrow, gently fall my tears, Lest my sad tale should reach the alien's ears: Bid Fame be dumb, and tremble to proclaim In heathen Gath, or Ascalon, our shame Lest proud Philistia, lest our haughty foe, With impious scorn insult our solemn woe.” ShouldEarthLyingDiesFallTearsProudSorrowFameMountainEarsShameTalesWarriorAliensDumbFallenInsultWoeFoeScornSolemnBleedingHushHeathenHaughty Author:William Somervile
