Your mom is all alone, or minus one, ten years later,

her head on our belongings.

The puppy I had asked for when I took ad     vantage of the situation,
Asus4

is now fully grown.
Though I felt a little guilty,
Adim 
he was my

I never spend much time in a rich man's house,

not by       choice anyway, but I get to live in

a basement and sleep on a waterbed and watch cable,
and that sounds okay.
