And the channel of the chucked wood chucked by Chuck the Woodchuck checked out to challenge the chucked wood in the channel, how much wood could Chuck the Woodchuck chuck if the Woodchucks chucking channel was choked?

A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five-times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more.

On the Diamond Dogs album, 'Candidate' was folded into the song 'Sweet Thing', and so, without listening to the original demo, one could never experience the puzzling, enigmatic genius of the full song.

And bears are cute when they’re cubs, mean looking when full grown. Wolves always have a sparkle in their eyes, and have an amazing pack mentality. We humans could learn a lot from their lifestyle...
