I like the challenges <a href=\"http:\/\/spencersokol.com\/\">Spencer Sokol<\/a> gave me. I don&#8217;t like how I struggled to create a proper story.

The final verse saw Grandma happy at the beach. Anyway, I ran out of time and ideas. There was no brilliant insight at the eleventh hour, so I present you this littly ditty.
