Reading Levels
Sebastian Manganese Culpepper Scripps
found he was adept at the reading of lips.
From way across the room he could follow each chat,
and by telescope from even further than that.
Venice Persephone Joplin St. Jedd
claimed she could access the thoughts in your head.
She sensed her friend Seb planned on reading her lips,
so held back all her secrets until the eclipse.
found he was adept at the reading of lips.
From way across the room he could follow each chat,
and by telescope from even further than that.
Venice Persephone Joplin St. Jedd
claimed she could access the thoughts in your head.
She sensed her friend Seb planned on reading her lips,
so held back all her secrets until the eclipse.
