Different Version of ''Imagine''

Imagine all the people are equal

It's possible if you want

No racism below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people don't jupge anyone

Imagine there's no cry

It isn't hard to smile

Nothing to break or fight

And no barrier too

Imagine all the people

Living as one

You may say I'm an imaginer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll dream with us

And the world will be better

Imagine there's no money

We're here if you can

No need for save or spend

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Just live

you may say I'm an imaginer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll dream with us

And the world will be better..

These are smells of cats, rabbit smells, and other presences which are too subtle for human detection.  She sniffs and spins her tail in quick circles.  First it spins clockwise, then it spins counterclockwise.  These two activities  sniffing and spinning which seem to propel her along always occur together.
