There are currently eleven balloons in my living room.

I bet *your* living hasn’t got eleven balloons in it.

Has it?

Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!

Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

Should my yachts have figureheads?
Should I brand my cattle.
