That nature is starting to heal
But unfortunately that’s
Why there’s so many rats
And I just can’t see the appeal

And he’s happy to help out a crook

Jelle Bakker (we love him), founder of the Marble League, began constructing marble runs at the age of four.

While sports fans are facing a drought
As most of their games are ruled out
They’re asking which ball
Will be fastest to fall
Down a madcap and curious spout
