World Book Day

I Started Early, Took My Dog and wandered through The Colony of Unrequited Dreams. Someone asked; Are You Somebody? Cod knows, I replied, but the Cod are no longer to be found. Perhaps they were fished out, or perhaps they decided to Travel As A Political Act. There's not much left now. Just traces Of Love And Shadows, though Consider The Oyster, who, being a bivalve, couldn't leave, unlike the Lonesome Dove, who flew to The American West, trying to discover How Soccer Explains The World.

I wasn't going to blip until I came across this thread on the forum. Thanks to julialampam for saving my bacon
Finally, thanks to Cats&Dogs for the idea of making a story out of the titles.
