move gracefully. and since we can't
be so. we do foolish things.
Instead Of moving quietly so
folks wouldn't notice and see how I'M
graceful we are we bend ur and down

to be graceful though we know we
can't be! We're rather ridiculous in
that way and often people stop and
laugh at us as they pass us by here
