kinks

[Forrest Gunter]

Well, 'scusa, but "Sold American" ("...been dreaming dreams in a rollaway 
bed") is a most excellent crafting of which anyone could be proud nevermind 
orientations or historicity or culottes or cats, perhaps even flowers, an 
interest in which maketh a ram to be wondered about, in the days, at least, 
when Kinky's father was a prof at UT in some sort of psychobilly field at 
The Institute of Scientific Speculatum.  Or was it the poesy 
conclave??????????????????????????????
