JUST DANCE deoderant! and it smells good! i'm disturbed that i caved and bought the pore-clogging anti-perspirant...and then again i'm looking forward to a less-sweatful summer. and...it's JUST DANCE DEODERANT! yeehaw!
Trouble's snoozin'.
I've been felting up a storm!! as in...i've made at least 10 in the past 2 days that i haven't even photographed yet. but it's so fun! today i tried to branch out and create my own little guys, which yielded a neopolitan ice cream cone, lizard, frog (hideous :), dinosaur, and a sweet li'l bunny!
At which point, it seemed like a good idea to do something else for awhile, and i wrote a poem. about the sleepy fox (and really, about bedtime for children everywhere!)
"Yawns are for the ones who sleep--
And I'm not one of THOSE!
Come 'bedtime' (as they call it), I
Would rather bite my toes
Than put on my pajamas, brush
My teeth, and fall in bed
(The only time I'll even LOOK
Asleep is when I'm dead!)"
With this bold claim, young Frankie Fox
Went tearing 'round the den,
Till Mommy threatened, "Naughty cub!
I'm gonna count to ten,
And you had better be asleep--
Or be pretending so--
Before I get there!" Mommy
Started counting, very slow...
At three, Young Frankie bounced upon
The mattress in her room--
But bounced right off again, before
Continuing to--ZOOM!
At five--and half-way there!--she Did
A sloppy somersault
(And Mom looked rather frazzled, which
I'm sure was not her fault!)
At seven, she was practically
Running through the air!
At nine, she grabbed her pillow and
Went sledding down the stairs.
But--wonder, wonder, could it be?!
She made it into bed!
By count of ten, her eyes are closed,
A halo lights her head.
I do not have words for how adorable your felties are.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun poem. It reminds me of how I stridently resisted going to bed when I was small. Counting to ten was not enough; I sometimes had to be chased down and physically restrained! Although I still tend to be a night-owl, I've learned to appreciate the value of going to bed at a decent hour.
I'm seconding that remark, Rachel, about the adorable-ness of these felties. And of Trouble, who I just want to pet right now. :o)
ReplyDeleteMISSING YOU, TARA!
hahaha, rachel--i kind of wish i could go back in time and watch your parents chase you down for bedtime :) i'm glad things have improved in that area :)
ReplyDeleteevelyn, i miss you too! if trouble were in the room, i would pet her for you...maybe later...
