think about it, why did I have to think about it, there is no reason for me to have to think about it, it's the eye sty, it's the sty in the eye one, the sty in the eye one is the sty I hate, but what about the other one says I to her, how do you feel about the other one, the pig one, how do you feel about the pig one, don't you as a word hate the pig one as a word, well says she to me as a word I
