MATTRESSES

Which card wins the horse
that carries the gambler?

How do they build their
paper houses so tall?
I hear the windmills
are made in China now.

The Akropolis
is made of cardboard now.

Remember when a
mattress was for sleeping?

Now we'll see what that
ethanol is good for!
With enough kindling,
we'll cook that golden goose.
