It needed some space to leap forward!
Chill-hop!
It felt like it was running out of time—it only had 28 days!
A monkey!
Because they make up everything!
Because it saw the salad dressing!
Because some relationships don’t work out!
Hot, because you can catch cold!
It had a virus!
Nacho cheese!
A coconut on vacation!
In case he got a hole in one!
They’d crack each other up!
I’ll meet you at the corner!
Frostbite!
I don’t know, but the flag is a big plus!
Igloos it together!
An impasta!
They don’t have the guts!
A gummy bear!
Because if they flew over the bay, they’d be bagels!
Because you can see right through them!
Stop procrastinating… starting tomorrow!
Because it was two-tired!
A carrot!
Because then it would be a foot!
