Once upon a clear dark night an elderly man with a wicked cat who ate all of his freshly caught shrimp in a most peculiar, yet satisfyingly white china bowl.

There were sounds outside his window as the wind turbine that spins came crashing down, scattering the crows. The sounds of wings, furious and flapping, came through the darkness.

And with that become clear that the old man's home was not a good place, not like before. He chose to ignore it for he already knew the reason: It was time warped. So, instead he joined the circus. There, he became an amazing acrobat who created an entertaining show for the elderly folk who ate watermelons and spit seeds into the offending crowd of onlookers.

Covered in seeds, the acrobat then promptly took his large knives and sliced a huge potato in dodecahedrons — took great care with each 12-sided shape before throwing his knives back to the sous-chef, who swore in six different languages whilst standing on a rotating toadstool, for this was ga ga land.

The knives landed one by one and pierced a cocoon, narrowly missing the butterfly's toenails, which caused its cocoon to pop. Wingless and flightless, the poor butterfly soon became prey to a large timid, lovelorn bat that befriended the only animal who ever showed any true courage to try something new. A duck billed platypus that was love struck and could not find his matching socks. Am I mad, or is it true that duck flew south by the flick of Willy Wonka's wrist that was covered with a yellow ribbon and a big red flag. Now the duck was not sure if he should keep on going or not. So he quacked instead and then farted. Something smelss funny, a smell so bad that everyone burst out laughing who did that That's the worst experience i have never really had? But then the situation was so out of hand it could be one of the others should maybe  give it a try. So he could laugh too, he threw back his head and farted four times causing such an causing another uproar from the crowd after seeing the devastation, the crowd ran like hell to escape the rumbling of the thunderous sound and Tremendous windhose that shook the very foundations that were often mistaken for cry's in the face of mortal manifestation and cognitive powers of those been gone yet to reappear again and then they Sit and wait for the bus full of goats  and some chickens we rode on that bus and started to sing clapping our hands feeling overjoy because friends are wonderful Captivated by the new and exciting sound coming from deep, deep within the dark cold night. Morning couldnt bring about the realization that it is all unreal or maybe surreal I searched the surounding areas for a place to sit down and rest for a little while but I cant seem to get enough rest, no matter what I try But suddenly a friend appears and makes an offer that is accepted discussing the possibilities of new adventures with our friends and more possibilities the conversation turned to a possible town hall meeting ...being held in the library since they would not explain the reason why some elves were seen earlier walking on stilts on icy ponds when they could ridden the dragons from the kingdom by sending them swirling upward to the heavens and gave praise that the stilts were powered with rockets love and reindeer odd, naming stilts and then they travelled to the airport so they could get through check-in quick and grab some drinks before the flight.  to the shores we will toast! To the seas tide is turning blue and churning water and the wind was blowing tide for tide dark whirlpools appearing sucking them down into the deep deep dark reaches of the unknown never to be seen nor heard from ever again not like this she cried aloud. As the sun radiated through the quickly thinning clouds warming her face making her smile from ear to ear, as she takes a breath and walks toward Her X-mas gift Slowly, she reached under the tree then she saw the funniest thing she has ever seen, a pair  of chinchilla ear footies, that were brown in color soft to touch and the most gorgeous thing you could ever set your eyes on right in the middle of telling such an amazing story of the great pink mammoth and his little baby blue toenails This caused him to hide from the great big and very scary man in the hot air balloon  floating around in cold,crisp,air heading south to find warmer weather where he could relax in sun and feel the warm loving embrace of the people come to greet the massive crowd Who came to watch the show unfold itself in a hive of wild chanting cheers as the young Actors began to take their places upon the stage to perform the last chorus line "kick,one-two" feel the heat from the elated wild clapping audience please to get with the program moving further on revealin the magic of the mustached loud screeching tamarin which made the good audience erupt from their seats jumping into the air with such much cheering and all at once there arose in the far distant sky a small sleigh growing larger as crowd screamed with loud reverberating chants encouraging the lil children to jump  sing and dance with unbridled joy sharing the love with each other and everyone,everywhere!!!!! Decided that life, lived so wonderfully should continue on to better brighter things. So they played some more and then they joined hands in a circle of friendship and song giving thanks for eternal love. But not knowing the sleigh was full they walked behind the slow moving sleigh,giving out presents to the surrounding village children who cheered and clapped their hands dancing with glee as the promised gifts were distributed. to every child along the way. back and forth till everyone's happy The Master of of our souls We make our true lasting friendships strange as that may seem, we should always try We surely should to achieve the moments of peace love and harmony that we all deep in our hearts yearn for more than the world will ever know. Love will be their guide on life's pathways leading them to new and lasting impressions of then to have forever something to say from the heart. shared completely with all who would pay heed to , the call of mysterious man in and funky hat and wide smile with promises of good fortunes and chocolate chip cookies for those who can not bake but who can magically make them deliciously addictive and they become a problem for the children's parents who toiled daily for just a pittance and caught fish to provide for the playful children realized their parents were on a very limited income because dad writes captions for pictures so large that blind people see them with little beady cat eyes yellow and black so they can peer through darkness into the inner corners of the minds of others and see the true potential within  the dark recesses  of untouched shadow hidden deep within the halls of The homes We leave behind us in search of better times and bigger mountains to Climb,explore and just enjoy Nature. Seeking out the finer thing available to anyone who could look inside and seek out the true meaning wiffle bats rule to play without getting in the line of fire of mud slinging or errant cowpoke with twinkling eyes enjoying the view of the faraway land of Narnia a harsh land filled with cold hands and warm heart long for love and affection.  Kisses and Hugs made her cry tears of joy and also made her laugh uncontrollably with the nervous bunnies around her not knowing who brought them there. They ran free into Lala Land and chased the chipmunks away! NOOOOo! Not the Chipmunks! little pests that should be loved! But we all never really care about the future and then die. Live for today for tomorrow may never even come. but with every smile, comes joy and pleasure that may some time be just out Delusion distorted expectation. Happiness is better when shared with those closest to you, huggles all with in reach spread the love  All over the childrens kingdom. In Fairy Tale Land. Where the good bad and ugly come together in life's gigantic arena  without waiting for a formal invitation  When you arrive, join the party.  and have fun or just visit telling funny stories or just sit in the garden smelling the flowers gazing at nature really enjoying life over a hot cup of steaming coffee and a donut  quietly reflecting on what is to important in life to let go set yourself free and be who You can be!!!!! Spread your wings and soar to heights never been  reached by you and enjoyed forevermore by all who shall reach those few and touch the hearts of many, many souls lost in a hazy mist of hanging dampened darkness surrounded by fog frozen with fear alone and waiting for the unknown reason for being left all alone without any hope of finding the meaning of life or why They were led there confused and disoriented  To find themselves wondering what's next and will things be normal again? twirling in a mixture of thoughts turmoil reigns supreme change being the, only true constant. but change can make life better and keep us wondering what is the real meaning? To find out the benefits of happiness, true happiness — not to mention rainbows, and leprechauns pot's of gold and wishes come to fruition, ultimately.  So let us gather flowers and place them in our mothers hand and watch her turn it over and pat your hand in a very loving way tryin to show there is nothing for her to fear, only love can make the the world go around in harmony creatin all the warm fuzzy feeling of bein loved and loving back for all the world is watching waiting for failure has no place to hide anymore Now standing before the realm of unadulterated fantasy contemplation , this is becoming unreasonable to expect it to make a love story. but then again love only hurts for a little time, during which we laugh we forget and move we express fears ,joys and concerns sharing the moment with our friends. they make us realize we so need each other for many reasons now and for The foreseeable future all things will come into place spreading joy to all but a few of the unlucky . Those few will be taken in Then She Farted! smelling of wildroses and mountain pine nature is wonderful. So, there begins the next chapter in the land of tall People and tall tales told by all who have ventured into fantasy land and out again never to return because they went to Tim Hortons secret dungeon library to eat donuts and visit friends sharin great stories laughing and partying welcoming everyone who chooses to join in the celebrations makin it a fun happy place for all the boys and girls singing and dancing the time away had done them justice this fine wonderful and beautiful day.
