(Harrisham Rhyme)

enveloping environs in nostalgic smells,
glares of the nourishing sun warmly care,
serene thoughts stroll over the water swells.

PRIDE
Molly prides herself with being sweet.
You wonder what makes her think that's so
Unless like Molly you feel you're neat,
Someone who likes to make a show
Each time some friend of yours you'll meet,
Heaping on them self-praise as you go.
