1. Pink "Family Portrait" 
Uh Uh, some deep shit
Uh Uh
Oooh... Oooh
Oooh... Oooh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh

Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
and it's tearin' me down

I hear glasses breaking
As I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said
You fight about money
'bout me and my brother
And this I come home to
This is my shelter

It ain't easy, growin' up in World War 3
Never knowin' what love could be
You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done my family

Can we work it out? (Can we?)
Can we be a family? (Can we?)
I promise I'll be better (I promise)
Mommy I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Daddy please don't leave

Daddy please stop yellin' (stop)
I can't stand the sound (I can't stand the sound)
Make mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you around (yeh yeh yeh yeh)
My mama she loves you (I know)
No matter what she says it's true
I know that she hurts you
But remember I love you too!

I ran away today, ran from the noise
Ran away (ran away)
Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way

It ain't easy, growin' up in World War 3
Never knowin' what love could be
But I've seen, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it did my family

Can we work it out? (Can we work it...)
Can we be a family? (...outttt?)
I promise I'll be better (I promise I'll do...)
Mommy I'll do anything (Anything that keeps you there)
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better (I promise... I promise)
Daddy please don't leave

In our family portrait (In our family portrait)
We look pretty happy (We look pretty happy)
Let's play pretend, let's act like it
Comes naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays 
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a stepbrother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it
Goes naturally

(Can we work it out?)
In our family portrait
(Can we be a family?)
We look pretty happy
(I promise I'll be better)
We look pretty normal
(Mommy I'll do anything)
Let's go back to that

(Can we work it out?)
In our family portrait
(Can we be a family?)
We look pretty happy
(I promise I'll be better)
Let's play pretend, act like it
(Lets go back, oh lets go back to that)
Comes naturally

(Can we work it out?)(Remember the days)
In our family portrait
(Can we be a family?)(Remember the days)
We look pretty happy
(I promise I'll be better)
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that

Daddy don't leave... daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave... daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave... daddy don't leave
Turn around please
Daddy don't leave... Turn around please
Remember the night you left 
You took my shin-ing star
Daddy don't leave... daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave... dont leave us here alone

Mom, l'll be nicer
I'll be so much better
I'll tell my brother
I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better
I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night
Oooh Ooh OhOh Ooh Oh Oh Oh

3. "Madonna Mia" by Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)


A LILY-GIRL, not made for this world's pain, 
With brown, soft hair close braided by her ears, 
And longing eyes half veiled by slumberous tears 
Like bluest water seen through mists of rain: 
Pale cheeks whereon no love hath left its stain, 
Red underlip drawn in for fear of love, 
And white throat, whiter than the silvered dove, 
Through whose wan marble creeps one purple vein. 
Yet, though my lips shall praise her without cease, 
Even to kiss her feet I am not bold, 
Being o'ershadowed by the wings of awe. 
Like Dante, when he stood with Beatrice 
Beneath the flaming Lion's breast, and saw 
The seventh Crystal, and the Stair of Gold. 

4.Quotes and Proverbs: 

 -Clouds that thunder do not always rain.

-A light is still a light-even though the blind man cannot see it.

-Cheap meat never makes a good soup.

-No man can paddle two canoes at the same time.

-When an ant gets wings, it loses its head.

-Two things rule the world -- reward and punishment.

5.An Anecdot:

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, John, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament. 


---"Dear John,I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.Love, Dad "

A few days later he received a letter from his son. 

--- "Dear Dad, For heaven's sake, don't  dig up that garden - that's where I buried the bodies! Love, John"

At 4 A.M. the next morning, FBI agents and local police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. A couple of days later, the old man received another letter from his son. 


---"Dear Dad, Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could do under the circumstances. 
Love, John"
