Nul animal
Language: French (Français) after the Unknown Language
Nul animal dans les taillis, les taillis dangereux, un tronc d'arbre au bord maman! Je danse, ivre de plumes multicolores et je vois avec les yeux, Le soleil dort. Assez dansé, J'ai épousé une femelle, léopard insatiable, l'oiseau du soir pleure. Entrons. Hé, hé.
