And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children."

They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

I chanced upon the coy and understated fuckfrance.com while marinating one of the neighbor's flock for my Sunday cous-cous in a barrel of "Chateau Saddam" Iraki crude nouveau, (low in tannin!).
Spend some time chez FF: It's a feast!
...now what should I do with the rest of that mouton...
