The Sound Of Passion
one pig keeps singing
ten pigs keep singing
one hundred pigs keep singing
one thousand pigs keep singing
ten thousand pigs keep singing
the deafening sound of passion
enough love song
just too long
too loud
too much
Meow and Mu
when a cat says "Meow"
the cat is saying "Mu"
this is the essence of Meow
when a man says "Mu"
the man is imitating a cow
this is the essence of Mu
if I don't make any sense
I am speaking nonsense
this is the essence of sense
