Have It All



She wanted to have it all: full freedoms con amore.
She wanted to have a ball each nuance to explore.
He wanted to have it all: full pleasures con amore.
He wanted to have a thrall no matter what the score.
She wanted to have it all: full travels con amore.
She wanted to have a call on every port on shore.
He wanted to have it all: full riches con amore.
He wanted to have a haul and a great deal more.
She wanted to have it all: full bargains con amore.
She wanted to have a mall to buy at any store.
He wanted to have it all: full exploits con amore.
He wanted to have a fall yet stand tall as before.
They wanted to have it all: "the cake and eat it too."
They wanted a city hall but met their waterloo.
