【E龍接故事】31 Beyond and Above the Golden Arches

Stepping out of the Golden Arches, my sixth sense gave me a heads-up.

On a dime, heaven took off its sunny-side-up mask.

"Go ahead and rain something on me!" I stood up to the dark clouds above.

"But don't rain manma on me, manma that I neither desire nor deserve."

"Rain humble pies on me instead, humble pies that I don't desire but I do deserve."

"Hold it. Why do I keep saying me me me?"

"Because I am a New Yorker?"

• Nope, but 字麵意思 literary meaning 跟字底含義 混合起來，有時會產生幽默效果的。例： -renqiulan- ♂ (133 bytes) () 12/01/2022 postreply 22:35:31
