Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave its home;
He tried and he tried to give the cat away,
He gave it to a man goin' far, far away.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight,
He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite;
He waited and he waited for the cat to come around,
Ninety seven pieces of the man is all they found.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note,
Told him for to take it up the river in a boat;
They tied a rope around its neck, it must have weighed a pound
Now they drag the river for a little boy that's drowned.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon,
He told him for to take it to the man in the moon;
The balloon came down about ninety miles away,
Where he is now, well I dare not say.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
He gave it to a man going way out West,
Told him for to take it to the one he loved the best;
First the train hit the curve, then it jumped the rail,
Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The cat it had some company one night out in the yard,
Someone threw a boot-jack, and they threw it mighty hard;
It caught the cat behind the ear, she thought it rather slight,
When along came a brick-bat and knocked the cat out of sight
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
Away across the ocean they did send the cat at last,
Vessel only out a day and making water fast;
People all began to pray, the boat began to toss,
A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was lost.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
On a telegraph wire, sparrows sitting in a bunch,
The cat was feeling hungry, thought she'd like 'em for a lunch;
Climbing softly up the pole, and when she reached the top,
Put her foot upon the electric wire, which tied her in a knot.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The cat was a possessor of a family of its own,
With seven little kittens till there came a cyclone;
Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around,
The air was full of kittens, and not a one was ever found.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The atom bomb fell just the other day,
The H-Bomb fell in the very same way;
Russia went, England went, and then the U.S.A.
The human race was finished without a chance to pray.
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea

Toni Braxton. She's like, an ICON and a LEGEND in R&B music. Surely you've heard of “Un-Break My Heart,” “Another Sad Love Song,” “Breath Again,” “He Wasn't Man Enough,” etc. If you haven't heard of her, then you've at LEAST heard “Un-Break My Heart.” That song is one of the best songs of all time.
50 duck sized horses. It's like having a bunch of chihuahuas attacking you or a rhino attacking you.

I feel the same way. My grandpa died on April 16th 2009 when I was in 5th grade. He was more than a grandfather, he was my bestfriend. Everytime he would visit a smile would just appear on my face cuz I knew we would a fun time together. I remember the day I found out that he died from cancer………………I cried my heart out in the bathroom, remembering all of the memories that we had. I just wish he was still here ;(
Takin all I got to even drive to this bitch this am. Money makes the world go round

"The descriptions of Weiss by some people here really do not match up with who Weiss really is. Honestly, I don’t get it" If you look at much of what Gurvitz said about the hostility and destructiveness within Judaism, it isn’t much different from what Chris Moore stated, and we know how Weiss treated Moore. I think Martillo covered some of the same ground, too, with similar results. I guess the only difference so far is that Gurvitz doesn’t really propose how justice should be applied, other than a one-state solution where Jewish money will probably dominate to a greater degree than in the U.S. I guess the application of justice is where the line is drawn? Also, what does this quote from Gurvitz mean? "Ignorant, radical Jews are turning more to symbols of Jewish superiority than actual Jewish values." Does that mean that Jewish values are actually superior, but ignorant Jews are turning to symbols of superiority through laziness? Btw, is it possible to separate text into paragraphs on this site?
