US Coast Guard U-turned to Pier Thirty-nine
August DeMont co-produced daughter number one
Carol DeMont was her name
Jack Ricketts and Al Maloux were painting a bridge
August co-produced a second daughter named Marilyn DeMont
Jack and Al watched Marilyn exit a car
Marilyn did not speak
August requested that Marilyn jump
August was thirty-seven and spoke
Marilyn scaled metre-high rail on Bay side
Jack and Al were painting a bridge
Jack and Al watched Marilyn jump
Marilyn jumped
Irving Morrow selected colour
Marilyn and August did not speak as they jumped
August left a note on car seat
Marilyn was little and did not read
Jack and Al watched August jump
August wrote a note
Jack and Al painted colour on steel
Marilyn and August did not jump
Carolyn Downes became fat with Carolyn DeMont
Steel got born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
August and Marilyn dived in practiced form
Car was 1942 Plymouth sedan
Auto belongs to Mrs A C DeMont
4356 Twenty-sixth street, San Francisco
I and my daughter have—
August jumped on 23 July, 1945
Golden Gate Bridge International Orange
Carolyn recounted, I knew it, I knew it
August did
Irving felt colour was highly pleasing
Carol was Measles in bed on 23 July, 1945
Marilyn and August swept into Pacific and got eaten
Measles are Golden Gate Bridge International Orange
Jack and Al were painting on 23 July, 1945
Date in Potsdam Harry Truman spoke of Fat Man and Little Boy
August co-produced daughter number two
Jack and Al watched a car
Marilyn did not speak
Jack and Al were
Carolyn forged little at Pier Thirty-nine
Facts rely on International Date Line
Regret sums two-hundred-twenty feet between South Tower and Bay
August did earthquake-proof lifts in towers for living
