Frases de Tim Burton

“Cabeza de melón

Había un niño taciturno,

por desear tanto estar muerto.

con lo que se desea.
Pues él acabó en jalea
tras un pisotón bien dado.”

“The Girl With Many Eyes
One day in the park
I had quite a surprise.
I met a girl
who had many eyes.

She was really quite pretty

and I noticed she had a mouth,
so we ended up talking.

We talked about flowers,
and her poetry classes,
and the problems she'd have
if she ever wore glasses.

It's great to know a girl
who has so many eyes,
but you really get wet
when she breaks down and cries.”
