Yo, come here son I gotta story to tell ya.
Yesterday my homeboy and his shorty Jill
Went up a mound to bring some drool back to the Hood,
The dude fell Bust his ass, and before I knew it,
His homegirl was eating rocks, just like he was.

And all she did was put some alcohol on a bandanna and tied it to his dome.

Harold perched himself on high
Harold got knowcked the f*** down

As I gazed into the astronomical firmament, I became mesmerized by a brilliant luminary that enthralled my trentonomous sicoglicenerals. Thus was the initial luminary I fixated my ocular organs upon throughout these hours of darkness. I may perhaps anticipate for implementation.

An infinitesimal arachnid ascended a protrusive spigot that emanated a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Liquid precipitation descended, and the arachnid plummeted forthwith. The self-luminous celestial body, at the point equidistant between extremes in our solar system, emerged and desiccated the aforementioned precipitation. The arachnid embarked anew with its previous endeavor.

The miniscule vermin, of the family arachnid, ascended a hollow shaft associated with the deterrence of hydrogen bonded to oxygen that comprises a molecular structure in liquid state. Due to precipitation, the said arachnid was taxied downwards and came to an end in a perpendicularly state to the afore-mentioned shaft. Abruptly afterwards, the largest known star in the solar system directed its effect upon the residual precipitation and the above mentioned fauna reconvened its vertical ascension previously attempted.

The miniscule arachnid was violently flushed down the drain by severe meteorological conditions. After the storm system dissipated and the aqueous hydrogen dioxide evaporated into its gaseous state, the hapless arachnid somehow managed to escape its doom.

Propel your vessel down the rivulet, while joyfully examining existence.

As the daylight comes to a conclusion, the grand celestial bodies of twilight become apparent in the upper atmosphere. I covet the chance to be able to take into my possession the desired outcome I beseech from the blazing heavenly bodies above.

Oh, ball-shaped gaseous celestial body
That shines by its own light,
Incomparable solitary star on this night,
Allow myself to accomplish
My desire [and?] wishes on this day.
