Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

Anything Else?
Which one animal do you feel is absolutely nothing like you? I really, really hate frogs, and I’m not that fond of lizards either. Primates are too vocal and social for me (although there are some solitary species).
