Okay, oh kay! Crazy Okada rode to the playa, With a shaky bump, he said, "Hooray-ya!" He glided, he spun, like a wild ballerina, Dodging potholes, singing "Oklahoma!" Okada on a mission, no time for a siesta, Zipping past cars like a speedy fiesta, Pedals pumping, grin from ear to ear, Onlookers cheering, "Oh wow, man, so clear!" Through the streets, Okada flew like a rocket, Zooming by, with bells and whistles, can you clock it? Ooh la la, he mastered the Okada show, Leaning left, then right, with finesse, oh! Up and down hills, his heart soared in glee, His Okada skills the envy of you and me, But wait, a sudden twist, a goat crossed his path, Okada swerved, no time for a bath! With a hop, skip, and a jump, he stayed on track, Unshaken, unscathed, never cut him some slack, Okada's the king, ruling the road, Champion of streets, his story will be told! So raise a cheer for Okada, the daredevil you see, A true hero on wheels, making laughter and glee, With each twist and turn, he conquers with flair, Okada, oh okada, our joyful tongue twister, we declare!
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
