T.J.'s answers for Will's Farm Libs:

It was a MOODY January Saturday as T.J. and Will KICKED up the road to the goat dairy. With bearded chins facing the PILLOW, the two shared their excitement about Spring's imminent arrival on the farm. "Did you know that the goats will be having kids next month?" T.J. asked GAILY. "BY JOVE!" Will replied, "I've never CLEANED a goat kid before. I can't wait to pet one." After they had finished morning milking, T.J. said good-bye to his favorite goat, Vivian, and the two boys made their way toward the CRUMPLED barn. It was time to SING the rabbits. "Look!" Will exclaimed, "This rabbit is pregnant." "You're right, soon there will be bunnies DANCING all over the farm," T.J. added. Once the rabbits were given their food and water, Will reminded T.J. that they still had to GRAB the baby chicks. "Have you seen them yet, T.J.?" Will asked. "They're only three weeks old." Will opened up their cage and there were all 88 chicks, all GREASY and VIOLENT. When all the animals were fed and the morning chores were complete, T.J. and Will walked GRACEFULLY back to the dorm. They had GRASSES for breakfast, while they relaxed on the dorm couches. Neglecting the rest of their weekend duties, both T.J. and Will drifted off to sleep, each of them dreaming of the BUTTONS Spring would bring.
