Went to the corner

To buy his poor dog a bone

But when he got there

The shelves were all bare

And Miss Muffet was stuck on the phone

WHO IS THAT?

August 23, 2010

“Who in the name of industrial planning is that?” one might reasonably ask.

“That is Queen Jebb of the Acrotwist Clowns,” one might just as reasonably answer.

“Huh?” one could reasonably respond.

“It’s a long story. Let’s eat breakfast,” one could reasonably suggest.

THE LAPEL BADGER

August 22, 2010

“I have a badger on my lapel,” proudly stated the handsome young rhinoceros.

“Why, so you do!” exclaimed the rhino’s adoptive mother, the Trollop of Medicine Hat. “Whatever is it good for?”

“I always know what time it is,” boasted the badger, taking out a pocket comb and combing his pocket.

“See?” said the young rhino with barely contained glee.

“Why, that’s simply marvelous,” praised the Trollop, slicing three thin wedges of thick brandied soup, one each for herself, her son, and her son’s lapel badger.

Then all of them were returned to the home and locked away.
