Six Word Memoirs

You know that place between sleeping and waking,
that place where J.M.Barrie says fairies exist?
That's where my squirrel is busiest.
Last year, he wrote a riddle for everyone in my building
in about 45 minutes.
This morning, he was fascinated
by the concept behind the book
Not Quite What I Was Planning
in which people have written six word memoirs
(look here and here).
Stephen Colbert's, for example, is
"Well, I thought it was funny."

The squirrel tried his hand
(or is it his paw?)
at the challenge:

Laughed loudly and often-- sorry, family!

I did my best-- perhaps not.

Den is my very best part.

Took the big jump-- great fun!

Boiled life into phrases and scribbles.

Grace is an amazing idea. Thanks.


Maybe I should go back to sleep....

Oh Sue, I was just telling someone at work the other day about your infectious (albeit loud) laugh. It made me miss you and the whole Shaffner clan. Give my best to everyone! Much love.
