Most of you would find it odd,
Lining up inside a pod.
But in fact it wouldn’t be,
If you were a baby pea.

The light’s right for fungi,
So hush little mushies, hush.

Sometimes The Believer has themes each month that come with, well, I think of them as gifts. Once their theme was Art and the tear-out insert in the front had the most beautiful temporary tattoos. The Music editions have come with a mix CD that makes INDIE 103.1 sound like Top 40.
