Pirmdienas teikums ir mana versija par Bonespark~ “Sunday Sentence”, kurā tiek izcelts teikums no tā, kas pa nedēļu izlasīts -> manā gadījumā vai nu iepriekšējā nedēļā, vai konkrētajā pirmdienā.

The group moves toward the rope ladder that will drop us straight down into the heart of the Groundling community.
