Flames licking at the charred remains from the year. A memory they would forever hold so dear. She weeps into his coat, her body now a wreck. He stands there, resolute, feelings in check.
There was a girl just aged seven, When her mother went to heaven, And her father turned for worst, and then guess who felt it first.

#household. Marvellous Marvin, human cannonball. Wasn't marvellous at all. Stand back when Marvin comes to play. Close shaves the order of the day. On his final performance inside the big top.
