John arose from his booster-seat & went up to
the bar. He ordered a booster-shot. Then, he
went shoplifting in a jon-boat. He brought
some johnny-cake along for a snack. After
that, John went home & watched television
through a booster-cable. A show about a
robbery gave him a boost. He went to the
john. Still later, he hired a hooker.
