Oh what the hey. Let's add to the opening of Portrait and have even more fun.
"Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens boy named baby tuckoo ....
His father told him that story: his father looked at him through a glass: he had a hairy face.
He was baby tuckoo. The moocow came down the road where Betty Byrne lived: she sold lemon platt.
O the wild rose blossoms,
On the little green place.
He sang that song. That was his song.
O the green wothe botheth."
Play with it. See what you can come up with. Yes, it's a challenge. :)
