<span style="color: #444444;">some people say...</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">and others,</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Indeed. </span><br />

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I was making a corgi-doodle today </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
(one of my favourite things to do!)</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
which required some painting while upside-down</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
and I thought it looked quite good:</div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #38761d;">sel poop</span></span></b>.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Oh dear.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
After I stopped laughing</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
(sometime before the tears had dried</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
but while my tummy was still hurting from shaking so hard)</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I thought to myself,</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
TRY CAPITALS.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
So I did. </div>

But, when I once again righted myself,</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I saw that this was dreadful, too. </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Do you see a </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #38761d;">DODO</span></span></b> anywhere?<br />

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I dropped the paintbrush in a tizzy</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
and stomped around a bit here,</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
and fumed a while over there, </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
and then by mistake I stepped in the paint</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
and tracked it right through the doodle!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
My paws now covered in wet green paint,</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I hurrumphed </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
and I steamed </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
and then I sat down </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
and I stewed for a spell.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
But when I opened my eyes,</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
darned if </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
we hadn't somehow<br />
gotten it</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
just right.</div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And every moment in time makes for an entirely new experience.</span></span><br />
