There’s something divine In the way these letters combine; Apple, box, carrots, Doves and proud parrots… And their meanings intertwine. Damian, Elena, Faran- These are places to be. Gregory, Hanks and Ian Taste like water from a sea. So while A stands for Art, B rows her Boat Until C wears a Coat. There are […]
