On our block, all of the guys call her flamingo
'Cause her hair glows like the sun

When she moves, she walks so fine, like a flamingo.
Crimson dress that clings so tight,

In the last few weeks a Chinese investor has suggested that The Crystal Palace could be rebuilt using modern materials.
Another temporary exhibition structure was the Eiffel Tower. It was designed and built for a 10-year lifespan.
An iron erection, not a plastic one.

I wish the living was easy
To judge from your avatar, the living does not appear to be that arduous.
Noor always takes it "light."
What light through yonder window breaks?
