over my tongue
coats my throat

update: Rabbit, rabbit!
Nice artwork. I always wished that I could draw and paint. You're good.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular talent.
ReplyDeleteAnd rabbit rabbit if you're the rabbiting sort.
Tom: Thank you. I lose myself in drawing the way I lose myself in writing. Both are a form of meditation.
ReplyDeleteDoug: Thanks. And bunny, bunny back at you.
Actonbell: Thank-you, thank-you.

ReplyDeleteSwampy: Thanks. She would be very chilly where you are.
ReplyDeleteJuliana: Godiva liquor adds a little something special, too.
Snuggle Doodle Lumps: I am saving it just for you.
Love how you end with cocoa. I'm gonna go out on a limb here but I figure, hey...if you don't ask you don't find out. I'm lost with the rabbit? Oh I know why, it's the cold weather over here in Honolulu I suppose. Froze my brain :(
ReplyDeleteThom: There's a thing going around that you have to say "Rabbit, rabbit" on the first of each month for good luck. I don't really understand it and no one has an explanation but I figure we all can use a little more good luck.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. So here ya go:
ReplyDeleteRabbit, rabbit
Thom: Back at you.
