Sky always has to keep an eye on everything.
Sky is a polymath.
Sky takes a nap on cloudy days.

Spelunkers have secret dreams about sky.
Sky is a thing of few words.
Sky likes to be on top.

After six and on weekends, parking is free in the sky.
Willem deKooning painted sky the way Dean Moriarty drove a borrowed Buick.
Sky goes bowling with earth, fire and water on Saturday nights.

Salted peanuts and sky have the same agent.
Sky is never satisfied with its outfit.
The sky knows, but isn’t telling.

William Turner had an unnatural attraction to sky.
Narcissus was really just looking at the sky.
A telescope is a microscope for far away skies.

There are seven seas, but only one sky.
I refuse to go to a party if sky hasn’t been invited.
Sky will always wait for you to finish your peas.

Sky has a durometer rating of exactly zero.
No matter where you go, sky will always fill in behind you.
Sky rents space by the half-hour.

Nobody really ever has the sky in their eyes.
The sky is no longer taking applications.
Sky has always wanted to grow a handlebar moustache.

Sky prefers French Vanilla ice cream with strawberry shortcake.
Sky does its own stunts.
Sky keeps an office in Lubbock, Texas.

Sky’s hobby is photobombing vacation pictures.
Meteorologists make book on sky.
Sky’s depression could be cured with a good vacuuming.
