Permanent Squirrel And Magpie

(being a joke within a rhyme)

This is the story of Permanent Squirrel and Magpie--

One can't stop talking,

The other can't die.


It's somewhat like the story of Dream Baby and Coffee Sheep--

One can't wake up,

The other can't sleep.


Magpie said to Dream Baby, "You listen so well! It's quite extraordinary!"

Permanent Squirrel whispered to Coffee Sheep,

"She's not hearing a word. She's simply asleep."


How many lesbians does it take to change a light?

17 would be the answer that is right.

1 to change the bulb,

15 to write about it all,

And 1 to film the documentary.


Permanent Squirrel said, "You're killing me with this stuff."

Magpie decided that she'd rambled quite enough.

Dream Baby woke up

And put Coffee Sheep to bed;

Then all four went back inside

Of Fireblossom's head.

  1. I do like your icon pic :-)
    Red haired beauties make my heart go tic-tic


    I thought the joke may have been,
    "How many lesbians does it take to screw in a light bulb?"

    The answer, of course, is two.
    But they have to be really tiny.

    You seem sane to me.

  5. Aren't the lesbians going to protest the patriarchal overtones of the male light bulb being screwed into the female socket?

  13. Thank you. Earlier I was questioning my own lack of insanity as a sign of aging and mental ossification and stuff, but after hurting myself in the ribcage area after excessive mirth while reading this, my insanity is once more triumphant and whole. Bless you. See what you have wrought.

  24. Oh, to be a character in your head.

    It takes 15 women (at least) to tell any story ... and in 15 completely different ways, lesbian or not.

    Loved it, girl.
