Tick-Tock, ‘Tocktober’s Done…

… we know by the setting of the sun.
But there’s time for one more ‘tock, we see,
As snapped by Terry in D.C.

We thank all sender-inning folks
For giving us the butts of jokes.
But one month’s far too much confinement
So send more ‘tocks; that’s your assignment.

Mooning Lincoln? That's just WRONG, man.

    So “DC” stands for “Duck Caboose?”

  25. Hibiscus says:

  26. Theo says:

    Hibiscus: good point. Noted.

  27. Jezebel says:

    No echo. Love it.

  30. biscuithead says:

    Nice to see something utterly cute like duck ‘tocks with the always amusingly backward duck knees in such a beautiful shot taken in such tricky light.
    Well done.
