The Grit In The Oyster

Does the moon hang from a balloon? Does the blue pot admire the red jug? Why does the cat blow flowers from its nose? Do machines like marching to drumbeats? Is there a public statue called ephemera? When the leaf collides with the stamp, which one's the winner? What do a chess board and a mistress have in common? If you tear a map will countries disappear? Do departing pianos suffer from melancholia? Do Shakespeare's equations add up? Should dead roses have a crypt? Can a rat knit a musical score? Are artists' palettes related to angels' wings? Does the planet Venus wear a boiler suit?
