O'Donohue went to the zoo, With a kangaroo and an emu too. He tried to say their names real quick, But his tongue got twisted like a bumpity stick. "O'Donohue, O'Donohue!" he said with a grin, But it came out as "Oodlehoo" and made everyone spin. The kangaroo hopped and the emu squawked, While O'Donohue looked completely shocked. He tried again, determined to get it right, But his tongue got tangled, oh what a sight! "Odonohue, Odonohue!" he shouted out loud, But it came out as "Oodahnahoo" to the crowd. The animals laughed, and the people too, As O'Donohue's tongue twister continued to brew. He tripped over his words, stumbled and fell, But his laughter and joy, they couldn't quell. So next time you're tongue-tied, don't be blue, Just remember O'Donohue's hilarious boo. Embrace the laughter, let your words dance, And enjoy the joy of a tongue twister's chance.
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
