A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. When shot at, the Dove dove into the bushes. I did not object to the object. The insurance man said the insurance was invalid for the invalid. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. They were too close to the door to close it. The Buck does funny things when the Does are present. The wind was too strong to wind down the sail.

my fly a fly buzzed around my head and I had to fly
out of the room and finish reading this on the fly. ---
