THE MRS.PICKNICK FAN CLUB
reports…I read that you are “about 83″…For your
fan Totalee Puppy, that makes you such a special friend. Like my friend Brother Harold who is waaay over 80 and still plays classified music for concerts. I’m going to his concert tomorrow disguys as a big tote bag…HEY, I’m tryin to write a poem for you and
Brother Harold–I’m callin it “Older Hands,” and one-a
my human partners is checkin-out the spellin–Sorry, spelling.
Older Hands
by Totalee Puppy
Older hands, we need you…
We are like seeds and you
are the rain…
A picnic in the park is the sunshine that makes us grow…
And maybe this is all the Heaven we know.
Older hands, it hurts to practice…
Older legs can hurt to walk
the steps up to the stage…
But then you turn the page…and all we hear is love.
Older hands, please don’t wave good-bye…
We promise not to cry…
And older hands play on…play on.

i must admit i’ve been a berthslave fan for some time.
appreciating the Qte with such wit is worth a lot, and having earned your PhD makes you an even greater catch in my book, regardless of employment!

um, given that there’s a long controversy about the cuteness or not of possums–is this kittie named possum some sort of stealth attempt to cheat the category? Possums are cute–when they’re really kitties?

Is it just me or does this kitteh look just like Gismo from Gremlins????

I should start a blog, I guess. I can’t let down my fans. I’ll try to cook something up soon.

Remind me, when was the last time a comment on CO earned a fan following from the opposite sex?

Good times.

berthaslave, I’m in the fan club too, if you’ll have me. I’d be totally yours if I didn’t already have the greatest guy in the world.

MRS.PICKNICK–Cant wait no
longer to say–Been prayin
to meet someone like you…
When can we go on our picknick? Any picknick basket you wanna pack is, like, heavon to a little
puppy…but HOW to be
WORTHEE of Mrs. Picknick??
I will fetch all the sticks
you wanna throw–Lunch those Frisbees inna air–I am ready to amaze you!! Mrs.Picknick, I am your
devotional frend…LETS
PICKNICK!!

“I can hardly wait for this to be over…”

Berthaslave – can I join your fanclub? I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard reading in my life! And what’s worse (or better?) is that I read it out loud to myself in a Brit accent! HAAAAAA!!
Thanks so much for brightening up a dreary (in NJ) rainy Friday!

“prissy little trollop” indeed! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
