Cute furry gray rodents Running amongst the trees Harvesting the spring nuts As busy as you please Cute furry gray rodents Charming in your pursuits But the truth of the tail Rats in designer suits ----- My family and I had lunch today in the park. My wife made the comment of "rats in designer suits."  [This message has been edited by Andrew Scott (edited 03-30-2000).] |

Andrew~ I like to watch the squirrels scurry ... now you see 'em ... now you don't ! But, the frisky little critters had best stay outside ! I enjoyed your wife's description. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

LOL!!! I know what you mean, Sir Andrew. I get the same warm feeling by walking into seafood restaurants and letting people know that the lobster is part of the cockroach family!!! Life is good!!! Love your wit! |

ROTFLMAO!... I'll never look at a lobster the same way! Nor a roach for that matter. Lady DeVine & Marge... thank you as well... yep! sometimes she comes up with a real winner. |

Well, I dunno - My daughter has "flying squirrels" living in her eaves... She occasionally captures one that finds its way inside and keeps it as a pet - She's up to four now.... They're cute little guys...  |

Rat's in designer suits the image dances in mind lady dressed spiked boots ready to be wined an dined menu draped in fur no waste tonight's delicacy rare taste haunted in dreams by scampering tiny little feet on eyes tampering see me your friend from the park silly little girl on the swings called me Milly sweet dreams I leave unto you so delightfully [This message has been edited by Merlynne (edited 04-01-2000).] |
