You tell me. August Augustus, fattest emperor amongst us, did go for a walk one day. His walking stick was expensive, grand and expansive, made of the finest clay. He thrust at Thrushes, Emperor Augustus, for they were warbling happily and barring his way. They cussed Augustus, fattest emeperor amongst us, these warbling thrushes, for trying to thrust them out of his way. August Augustus, he shushed the thrushes, for he did not wish a fight this way. The warbling thrushes, they mussed Augustus (with dive-bombing poop), for farmer or king, you don't ruin their day. August Augustus, fattest emperor amongst us, heaved a rock at a warbling thrush that fray. August Augustus, thinnest emperor amongst us, was crushed by beaver (friend of the thrushes) under a tree in the most terrible way. August Augustus, he learned from those thrushes, don't thrust at the birds, but politely give them the time of day.
