the dog ran over the cow in a big brown paper sack while trying to get to the bakery on eighth street in a small convertible tool shed.  refusing to stop he plowed into a piglet passerby happening across the road on his way to the deli to protest the sale of yellow ham.  the passing piglet plummeted into a pothole and plunged into a pile of pee.  jackal yelled “sicky!” from the street above and proceeded past the bewildered dog to help the now meandering cow.  cow put her hoof to her head and cried “hepp me!” while jackal snatched at her tattered sack.  below the street the piglet cried “hepp me!” and mouse sidled up to him with a sly smile.  “you look like cheese” said mouse to the yellow hambone who quivered in anticipation of a cold deli package.  monkey however swooped down on a cellular phone cord and mouse was forced to acquiesce his fine fat catch.  soon back on the street the piglet was relieved and offered the monkey a position in his protest who declined disrespectfully with a flappy orange tongue.  my ears what has he eaten? piglet thought hobbling gratefully over a grate.  looking down the piglet saw the mouse angrily grating some mouldy swiss and muttering sweet nothings to self.  the dog meanwhile had reached eighth street and found the bakery to boot.  he held up a stick and said “this is a stick up” as the baker harumphed “go fetch.”  feeling smitten unsettled and yeoman-esque the dog decided to make his own eggs.  stepping out into the moonlight the dog bumped into a rabbit balding from the waist down.  “move yer hairy butt” the dog howled and the rabbit skitted away down a sunny alley grumping heavily to himself about red-collared dogs.  in walked a skunk demanding cash.  spitting on the jackal the cow plodded over to eighth carefully avoiding the occasional wandering eye.  she misstepped only once on  a spherical little orb couple who smattered cleanly across the cobblestones and splashed into another eye.  the offended eye screamed “civil service, civil service” and the cow galloped quickly down a side street.  she trampled a roving bald rabbitous rogue on his way to the sack store for a mattress.  “i say” chimed the monkey and cow startled hurried off to hide in an oddly parked tool shed.  “i say” observed the monkey again stooping to rescue his stew.  the rabbit kicked soundly and bolted leaving the monkey to stew.  “mouse no cheese but ham will do.”  rushing back to the deli on eighth the monkey barged in on the robin’s round room where the platforming piglet was preaching pro-ham.  “you’ve got it all wrong” the monkey scolded haphazardly reaching for the piglet’s plump limb.  pulling him aside the monkey said as an aside “the skunk will be here soon.”
