YOU ASKED ME ONCE .... 31 July 2001 You asked me once ... long ago across the ocean to tell you something about me you didn't know ... and I couldn't come up with anything. I have been racking my brain ever since and at last I have thought of something that you, who have danced with my soul, don't know about me ... I have pink and white rabbit slippers called Ambi and Dextrous. - Owl |

Smiles Tracey. I probably could wear them on either foot, but I don't. I think they would be very confused if I did. Ambi has an I on his sole and Dextrous has a D. I since received a pair of teddy bear slippers and they are called Teddy and Bear. They also have a T and a B on their soles respectively. Owl |

Diana my dear that is such a cute poem, but you didn't say whether they were angora rabbits or short hair. Love to you my friend Lindsay |

Lindsay, both Ambi and Dextrous were short hair rabbits. Smiles. The actual point of the poem was that the guy knew everything about me - we sorta knew each other well - except Ambi and Dextrous, and after the poem, he knew about them too. Owl |

Oops! I don’t know how I missed your responses, Ida, Ruth and Wordplay! Ida, I think Peek and Boo are adorable names for rabbits. Thank you, Ruth. You are most kind. Smiles. Thank you, Wordplay. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks, Kacy. So do I! Thanks, Linda. I’m glad I made you smile. Owl |

What a gentle touch this poem has. It oozes love without overstating. Succinct, but complete. |

It is extra ordinary. Touching and goes through the palpable world. clever talks delay friendship! |
