Speculating Sam swiftly spun in circles, Silly, soaring, so full of giggles. With spectacles askew and a spark in his eye, He speculated random things, oh so high! He speculated about snails that skydive, And kangaroos that crochet and jive. He pondered about penguins who pilot planes, And frogs that do ballet in the pouring rains. Speculating Sam was a sight to behold, With his wild imagination, untamed and bold. He dreamed of elephants tap-dancing in space, And octopuses skiing at an incredible pace. But amidst his wild speculating spree, Sam accidentally turned himself into a tree. Now he stands tall with branches up high, Always speculating, birds perched nearby. So if you happen to pass by a tree, That's speculating with so much glee, Give a wave and a smile, it's Sam, you see, The speculating tree, as happy as can be!
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
