O Skipper, My Skipper

Flit flut-fluttery fly

Skippity spiral

Spiral on by

Whee and gone

Chase a friend

Reeling on

A windy bend

Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit

Your coat is mighty grey
Yes, bless God, it's made that way

Every little soul must shine, shine
Every little soul must shine, shine

Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit
Your ears are mighty long
Yes, bless God, they're put on wrong

Every little soul must shine, shine
Every little soul must shine, shine

Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit
You ears are mighty thin
Yes, bless God, they're splitting the wind

Every little soul must shine, shine
Every little soul must shine, shine
Every little soul must shine, shine
Every little soul must shine, shine

Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit
Your eyes are mighty red
Yes, bless God, I'm almost dead

Every little soul must shine, shine
Every little soul must shine , shine

Beat yourself about the head

Spread your bones about the bed

Sleep until you think your dead

Eat your guts on toasted bread

No Sleep Blues

The irony of the insomniac's dilemma is that a peaceful, uninterrupted and indefinite slumber is their ultimate reward.

Marten Mukmuk Bunneh: July ? 1997 - February 4, 2009

2009-02-04T20:40:00.000-05:00

It is with the heaviest of hearts that the Happenstance must report the passing of a dear friend. Marten Mukmuk Bunneh's soul was released into the universe today. She was deeply loved and cherished as a member of the Noecker family and will be remembered as a fearless and lovable gal who enjoyed listening to Heather pick out a tune on the acoustic guitar for her. We hope she is cutting the mustard in heaven with her old friend Lucy and munching mint leaves and parsley to her heart's content. Goodbye, Mukmuk.

Do You Know What It's Like On The Outside?

2008-12-24T00:04:00.000-05:00

Even in these prohibitive winter months, one should make a point of getting outside.

For, as grandpa used to say: "Isolation eats the mind and leaves behind another set of thinking springs as an awkward clockwork in the brain box ticking and talking like a Seussian hero bent on saving the world with epic silliness."

The Tendrilville Happenstance is a publication frequently perused by Ploo. He enjoys kicking back on his haunches and keeping himself up to date on the latest news in his humble hometown where Phlox E. Appleskin shirks her duties and slinky narworms stalk the foothills.

So may these words floating in the luminiferous cyber-ether keep their readers up to date on what's happening in the land of Drat and its lowly authors.
