laughter is it good
... has been done, nor we have all gone home without our problems. The fifth verse went on to say, Golden lads and girls all must, as chimney sweepers come to dust. That means that like the chimney sweepers who come to dust the chimney, all the wonderful young boy and girls much come home. I knew to take a pause after dust because of the period.
