The fifth is an unknown, The hosts have just Us for a favor because this girls just from Australia And moved to North London And the sister of someone Or has connection.
As we make I'm struck by her She's irrefutably With eyes and dark hair But as she I admit I'm a bit wary because I notice the tip of the wing of a Tattooed on that popular Just above the And when she Im Sagittarian I confess a pigeonhole starts to And is immediately filled pigeon When she her name is Storm.
Conversation is initially bright and But it's not long before Storm started: You cant anything, Knowledge is merely She opines, over her Sauvignon Vis--vis, Some Empirical made by me
Not a good I think We're only on drinks And the room, my wife her eyes Silently me, Be Nice A matrimonial Not ignoring So I resist the urge to ask knowledge is so loose-weave Of a When deciding whether to Her apartment by the front Or a on the second floor.
The is delicious and Storm, Whilst all meat, sits and eats As the good doctor, pissedly court on some anachronistic aspect of medical history When Storm insists But the body is a mystery! Science just in a hole it tries to explain the the nature of the soul.
My hostess me a glance She, my wife, knows there's a chance That I'll be off on one of my but fun rants But I , my lips are sealed. I just want to my meal And Storm is starting to get my goat I have no intention of the boat, Although it's a bit of a wrestle Because -- her meteorological namesake - has no such concerns for our vessel:

"Wow, thats a good point, let me for a bit" Oh wait, my mistake, its bullshit. adjusts it's views based on what's observed Faith is the denial of observation so Belief can be preserved.
