Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted Feb 20, 2003
Wake up, Pansy!
*aside* I was just wondering what happened to her...

Humpty Dumpty (and Chicken Little, his chicken) Posted Feb 20, 2003
*Gently shakes Pansy*
Wake up, dear. We have visitors.
IT'S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS!

Pansy Ffing Posted Feb 20, 2003
*Pansy opens her eyes sleepily 
and yawns. Looking around, she blinks and stares 
*
Where am I?
*Pansy stands up. She is dressed in a short frilly pink nightie trimmed with pink lace. Her legs are bare but she is wearing a pair of large pink fluffy slippers. Her face is covered with a thick layer of face cream and her hair is tucked inside a night cap, although wisps of pink can be seen peeking from it.*
Ooh! It's been a long time since anyone has seen my in my night attire. No peeking at my legs!

What's that behind you, Pansy, is it another egg?

(B4 chimes in, rather rudely)
Fertilized or not?

Pansy Ffing Posted Feb 21, 2003
*Pansy glares - very sternly - at B4*
Just what do you mean by that remark, young man?
The Contrary Garden
Pansy Ffing Posted Feb 21, 2003
Harumph!
I'm not sure what you're sniggering about. I was told that this was the place for the pretty maids to stand all in a row. I shall be off and get changed so that I can take my place.
*Pansy flounces out*

Humpty Dumpty (and Chicken Little, his chicken) Posted Feb 21, 2003
Oh, so that's what she meant by "cockle shells"

Oh dear, I do hope Miss Pansy isn't too upset.
*peers at the egg*
It is a multi coloured one. Have we had one of those before?
The Contrary Garden
Blue-Eyed BiPedal BookWorm from Betelgeuse (aka B4[insertpunhere]) Posted Feb 22, 2003
I know WE haven't "had" one of those before, though it appears that Miss Pansy may have...

Ah - don't worry Amy - poor B4 even had to explain one of his comments in detail to me (well, you can't expect me to be familiar with all the brand names of certain US products...) - I wonder who was blushing most, him or me...

[B4 declines to elucidate on the grounds the 'simple' explanation could lead to another bout of 'politically incorrectness'.]

Three Blind Mice Posted Feb 23, 2003
*from the branch of a nearby tree the mice do a dance routine with hats and canes, a la Fred Astaire*
They say the egg has many hues.
We can't see it but the news
Is good for all of us who choose
to move along for higher views.
1: Did you hear who's playing the Pied Piper?
*all giggle*
2: Did you hear about the ...
3: Hush! Not in mixed company! There are not-mice here.

Thistle Howl - a frighteningly cute Critter of the Night Posted Feb 23, 2003
So we need Gladys to give us our riddle?
She's sucha cute spider, I wonder if she'd mind if I petted her? Perhaps a little scritch between her head and abdomen? The big spider in my basement likes that a lot.

Little Miss Muffet (featuring Gladys the Spider) Posted Feb 23, 2003
*swerves around Thistle Howl, giving her a sideways look* climbs up the rock face* addresses the crowd*
Ahem...
*holds up a piece of paper to read* furrows brow* notices a typo and decides to busk it*
Ahem
The time has come to test your Greek
If other eggs you are to seek
You'll clearly never be a loser
If you know the word 'empusa'
