‘Twas the night before Super Tuesday

When all through the house

Not a creature was stirring

Not even Dennis Kucinich a mouse

The ballots were stacked

By the ballot box with care

With hopes that the voters

Soon would be there

The voters were nestled

All snug in their beds

While visions of Democrats

Danced in their heads

Obama in his kerchief

And Clinton in her cap

Had just settled down

For a long winter’s nap

When on the White House lawn

There arose such a clatter

I sprang from my bed

To see what was the matter

Away to the TV

I flew like The Flash

Grabbed the remote

Which I almost crashed

The loon on the screen

On the White House lawn

Gave me the shivers

And caused me to yawn

When, what to my wondering

Eyes should appear

But that horrid wretch

Who likes to shoot deer

I knew in a moment it must be Mr. Dick

More rapid than the Eagle Forum

His minions they came

And he whisted and shouted

And called them foul names

“Now, Russert, now, Brit Hume

Now, Billo and Hannity

On, Fox News, teh stoopid

On Matthews and Blitzer!

To the top of the screen

To the top of the wall

Now bash away, bash away

Bash away all!”

As dry leaves that before,

The wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle,

Mount to the sky,

So up to the White House

The minions they flew,

With reports Republicans,

And St. Dickless, too.

Eek! I forgot again. And I even have a reminder set in Outlook.

Oh, well. Another Monday morning, another pathetic Pickle Pony Party.

But, hey, the GIANTS won and that PATS lost! W00t!

The Chiffons and the Shirelles

He’s So Fine

The Association

Along Comes Mary

I think we need to start with some shaking music since this is the last pony party of the day….

Here are the last of some pics I snapped yesterday. The Northwest Passage exhibit was closed for renovation and the warm weather animals were off sunbathing on a beach somewhere so you get mostly birds and some big kitties at the end….

Hey Wazzup????

Love is in the air….

Staunch individualists….

 Does anybody NOT like penguins? Come on I dare ya. These ones are South Africa and the keep mentioned that the weather yesterday ( high 30’s to 40 ) was about the lower limit of what they tolerate.

They have a little “keeper chat” everyday at 15:00 and the penguins know they will also get fed. A Cormorant also from South America and South Africa hangs out in their pool. I wouldn’t say he hung out with them but he did get fed.

This gentleman used to be a normal sized catfish but he took steroids hoping to get a bigger contract…

Pretty fish….

A skink….

It was a slightly chilly day for the Zoo, and the warm weather animals were inside playing poker and drinking coffee. But nobody was there except a few older people walking for fresh air so it felt a little bit like my zoo. I have a membership and while the Memphis Zoo isn’t likely to be featured on Animal Planet for brilliance and innovation any time soon, it is one of my hideaways.

Thursdays~  I  Think  Sideways,  About  Serious  Shit
