Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or played:

and I will be soft wood and you the nail
and we will make fiery ovens for Jack Sprat
and you will hurl yourself into my tiny jail
and we will take a supper together and that
will be that.”

And lived on scalps served up in rum—
The only sauce they knew.”
