¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Around The House Is A Thick, Thick ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Brush Of Ferns And Bushes. There Live ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ The Animals That We Fight To Keep Away, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ For They Speak To Us To Join Them In ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ The Luscious Caves Below Ground. They ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Mean No Harm But It Is Not In Our Best ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Interest To Do So. There Is Important ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Work That Needs To Be Done, And It Cant ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ And Smell Good, And There Is Little ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
