Have you ever kissed a cat?
They don't like kissing back.
Nine of hearts, Ace of spades,
Never buy what can be made.
Little Sally fair of face
Carries cockle shells and mace
Tic toc
Dickory dock
Thieves will always lack.
In the empty cemetery
See the old apothecary
He likes Jane, he likes Mary,
They think he's the Sugar Fairy.
Pretty girls and crocodiles
Always have a ready smile
Ding dong
Bang the gong
Bless the sleeping child.

Little Sally carries mace, huh? Smart cookie.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of cookies, thinking of you, Shay, over galleticas y café.
Those first two lines cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteWhat in hell is a cockle shell anyway? Little Sally probably needs the mace given the general tenor of this place...not THIS garden place but the other where it may or may not be planted.
ReplyDeleteSaw your comment at Scarlet's, just thought I'd check in. I like reading other Detroit writers, even the ones who live outside the city itself. ;-}
Speaking of which I am huckstering for a friend's daughter who has had her first book published by Simon&Schuster.
Megan Abbott a local girl made good. She will be presenting a bit at the Borders at 34300 Woodward, July 9 @ 7pm. Bury Me Deep is the book and the first chapter can be found on line.
Seeing as how the major houses don't think much of this area when it comes to sending authors this way I figure to just let everyone know so maybe if enough folks show up there will be a change of heart and some of the folks on tour will come closer than Chicago.
Anyway Thank you for reading this far.
Be Well
