Sample Text:

The sun was so warm
Shining down on the ground,
As we sat in the garden
And looked all around.
I said to my Adam,
“Just look at us two!
Already, we’ve run out
of fun things to do.
We’ve eaten our fill
And we’ve climbed all the trees;
For didn’t God tell us
To do as we please?”

But, oh, we got bored.
We got bored. Bored! Bored! BORED!

Our lives were too calm,
Which could not be ignored.

And then something went HISS!
You could not miss that hiss!
