Ever since I was a little [watermelon], I wanted to write on [Kitten]. [Interstitially], I thought all I needed was [science] and a whole lot of [warlocks]. And, by God, I had [warlocks]. I thought the world would [sweat] on my lap.

I was wrong. If anything, it [sweat] on my ex-girlfriend’s.

I spent [40] years begging for [serfs] from all the [marsupials] I could find. I even asked [Jon] for help.

[Jon] was my ex-girlfriend. We’re cool now. She writes on [Kitten].

None of it mattered! The begging, I mean. For [serfs].

So here below is my advice. Learn from me. Improve your writing.

Don’t repeat my mistakes. And I certainly made a few, but I’ve since moved on and am much more [damp] now.
