I look at the time; 7:25. I groan. What´s taking so long for dinner to be done? Why even did Mom decide to make dinner outside during a thunderstorm? It´s pouring! I get that she´s under the porch‚ but it doesn´t seem very wise. ¨Mom!¨ I cried out‚ glancing behind the couch. My mom pokes her head in. ¨Yes?¨

eyeballs vexed and tired‚ Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea; O ye! whose ears are dinn’d with uproar rude‚ Or fed too much with cloying melody‚ – Sit ye near some old cavern’s mouth‚ and brood Until ye start‚ as if the sea-nymphs quired!
