A prof named Fred loved his job, Teaching tricks and ticks with a bob. His tongue would twist through every class, Leaving students in awe, mouths agape, alas! He'd say, "Prof. Fred's the very best, Practicing p's and f's with zest. If you're precise and not perplexed, You'll pass my professional test!" But poor Prof. Fred tripped on his words, Mixing up m's and s's like nerds. His students laughed, it was quite absurd, Yet he twirled his mustache, not once deterred. "Prof. Fred, you're a tongue-twisting pro! Proclaiming phrases, pronto, just so. Your pontifications are pure poetry, Even tangled words can't dim your glory!" So, let's salute the marvelous Prof. Fred, Weaving words like a wizard, off the head. His tongue twisters bring joy and cheer, With each unruly riddle, we loudly cheer!
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
