Jim, ever the ____ boy, ran to the library for his studies. Wishing to end his journey quickly, he took the least ____ route available. He generally did things this way, thus eliminating the _____ life of a politician from his occupational options.
When he entered the library the old woman behind the counter _______ her dominance by ________ the sign above her. This is different than the method that the lion uses to prove dominance, but generally agreed to be more appropriate for an academic setting. Jim noticed these things (he was a very _____ boy) and he was ________ grateful. He was also grateful for the library. He was a very shy boy and books were his only friends.
Jim had just sat down in his favorite chair when a very ______ girl tried to speak to him. She obviously did not know him very well. Jim, as most men should and do, found talking to women to be dangerous. They used their powers of ________ to speak about things without really speaking of them. It was a source of constant wonderment for Jim that being a woman was considered an ________ to being President.
Armed with the knowledge of her kind’s sneakiness, he remained _________, watching for signs of her betrayal. He used all of the weapons given to him to fight these creatures. Alas, she was ________ to his biting sarcasm. The girl seemed ________, the only tranquil book Jim knew of.
Jim liked the girl. She offset his ______ with her brash, outgoing style. Admittedly, she was about as smart as a dolphin, but she was also just as happy as one. Her easy moods helped to ______ Jim’s anxiety and her mere actions were quite ______ on the subject of calm. All of the _____ indicators were aligned for this match, if you subscribe to that crap.
Jim’s attempted _________ about his true feelings did not work. Any attempt to hide them would be like putting _______ on a donkey. He may look nice, and probably quite funny, but it won’t hide the fact that he is a donkey. Jim liked to think that we all had a bit of that tuxedoed donkey in us, hiding our innermost secrets.
**The narrator would like to take this opportunity to admit that he _______ for the sole purpose of writing “tuxedoed donkey.” He thinks that is a funny mental image and wanted to share said image with the world.**
Before they could exchange information, he was called away by his mother. Although she had the I.Q. of a Shetland pony, she was ______ enough to see through his _______ guise. She knew she had to act fast before his Jim’s feelings underwent a ________ and turned to indifference. Trying not to look like an amorous ________, a beggar for his love, she took to making _______ trips to the library.
At first the librarian took her daily trips as a sign that there was more to her than the beautiful _________, after a few days she noticed that the girl merely stared into picture books. The waning ______ moon of the librarian’s interest was nearly extinguished before she realized what was happening. Her ______ mind wandered back through the dust of her age, remembering the young meteorologist who was her first love. She wanted to compliment him on his finely shaped _______, but he rolled up his map and was out of her life before she could.
She saw a bit of herself in this young girl in love, except for the girl being attractive and displaying roughly the brain power of a care-bear. She didn’t mind the discrepancies (she never had, consequently she was a horrible librarian), so she helped the girl. She found the young lad’s home address on the computer database at the library and gave it to the girl.
The two young lovers we reunited and sued the librarian for giving out his personal information.
