Strangers. Friends. Best friends. Lovers.

  • Strangers. Friends. Best friends. Lovers. Strangers.
  • Bystanders. Miscellaneous pets. Lend me your ears. I promise I will get them back to you by next Tuesday.
  • Tuesday came and went. Wednesday passed followed by Thursday and Friday. By Saturday night everyone wanted their ears back but no one knew how to ask
  • without bringing attention to the problem. So, purely out of an inability to articulate, they remained earless. They hid their embarrassment under outsize fluffy earmuffs which the
  • locals described with derision as fuzzbumps. If the earless were able to clearly communicate, they'd refer the cliche townspeople to the story of the Star-Bellied Sneetches, who
  • m no-one liked. The Star-Bellied Sneetches had had enough of the fuzzbumps stealing all of their stars, so they took up the issue with
  • the Sneetch Beach district courthouse, the honorable Judge Horton presiding. The lead prosecutor for the Star-Bellied Sneetches began his opening argument. "Who among you
  • does not accept Dr. Suess as your rightful Creator?" The Star-Bellied Sneetches glanced around nervously, having not gone to church in just ages. Finally Belle Star spoke up. "Your
  • Honorific, I for one won't. I can't believe that a Children's book author created me anymore than I can believe a pig can make cute boondoggles. Dr. Suess is not my creator." Belle
  • looked up and froze in horror as a Pink Pearl descended upon her and began erasing. Her scream ceased when her mouth was gone. Dr. Seuss put down the eraser & began drawing again.

    I hate when that happens. I remember as a kid watching in horror as Daffy Duck went through this horror. https://youtu.be/6XvXsuSJ-1A
