Open Link Night in the Pub ~ Bjorn is hosting ~ Anything goes!!
unlatched ~ wide open this very night
messages flying ~ as most rumors do
wildlife has formed a long concert queue ...
First guest through window is Freddie the Moth
dressed all in velvet, looking quite goth
brought his first cousin, Claudine the cute Flea
along with her band called “The Reverie” ...
A text from Raccoon: "got too many suits
wearing black jacket and black biker boots" ...
Squirrel arrived ~ bushy-tailed ~ and with sass
skidded in sideways while flat on his ass ...
Foxy's grand entrance ~ suavely aplomb
“get yourselves ready, 'cause I am the bomb”
plugging her mike into a phone
free-stylin' Lynyrd's rare jangly tone …
Chaos sure bloomed, a rocker's delight
Woodstock-like vibe throughout the long night ...
by dawn they were gone, crowd had dispersed
window's frame fine, I'd expected the worst …
Found a short note lying next to the sill ...
“Next week, same time ~ do we still fit the bill?”
window space now forever kept clear
Guest List quite full for rest of the year!
What a wonderful playful scene... so different from the sweet wildlife of Disney.
