Daffy Duffour had a dandy day, Doing flips and skips in May. He danced and pranced, all full of glee, Spinning round like a busy bee. From sunrise to sundown, he couldn't stop, Tumbling and rumbling, like a soda pop. His duffour moves were quite the sight, Everyone's jaws dropped, day and night. But oh dear Daffy, he had a trick, His duffour dance made everyone sick. His flips and twists, too much to take, Leaving folks dizzy, like a big earthquake. So Daffy Duffour, with a heavy heart, Decided to hang up his duffour art. But his legacy lives on in time, A tongue twister rhyme, so fun and prime.
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
