I like polka dots. And molasses. And Spanish antiques. Perfumes. Spices. And mice! Diamonds and sapphires. And silver, galore. Beans. And butter. And rice! I like maps. And garlic. And all furry things. Music. And melons. And ham. Color, and kittens. And fine intellect. Circuses. And Cream. And lamb! I like nature. And weeds. And an open fire. Buckles and straps. And moonlight! But best of all -- and it's silly and small. I like to hear crickets.
