Your spleen is the worst spleen I’ve seen, said the King to the Queen.

But what of a spleen have you seen, said the Queen, that would give my spleen such a sheen so green?

So green a spleen I have not seen, I say in between a Queen with a spleen I’ve seen so green, and a spleen of a Queen who’s sheen is green though not so green as the Queen’s spleen’s green.

As the Queen with a spleen so green, said the Queen with a spleen so green, my spleen is green, though my sheen’s no spleen. I seem to see a spleen of a Queen who’s spleen is green, though a paling green to my spleen’s green is a paling green spleen seen.

So if the Queen has a green spleen seen, and a paling green spleen’s seen, the Queen has a spleen so green, said the King to the Queen.

A paling green spleen seen is a green spleen seen, though the Queen’s green spleen is a green so green may have a green so green as not to be seen if the paling green spleen is seen by the Queen, paling to the Queen’s green spleen.

If the Queen’s green spleen is a green so green as a spleen with a sheen of a Queen, then no Queen’s spleen so green as a green could have a sheen as green as the Queen’s green spleen. A paling green spleen to the Queen’s green spleen could have a sheen as green as a pale green spleen.

A paling green spleen to a Queen’s green spleen is being seen as a Queen’s green spleen to a Queen who sees a paling green spleen as a Queen’s green spleen paling to a paling green spleen of a Queen seen.

No Queen with a spleen could pale the Queen’s spleen to such a green as a Queen’s pale green spleen sheen, though seen are Queen’s green spleen sheens.

Go sleep on the couch.
