He thought he saw an Elephant
That practised on a fife:
He looked again, and found it was
A letter from his wife.
‘At length I realize,’ he said,
‘The bitterness of Life!’ He thought he saw a Buffalo
Upon the chimney-piece:
He looked again, and found it was
His Sister's Husband's Niece.
‘Unless you leave this house,’ he said,
‘I'll send for the Police!’
He thought he saw a Rattlesnake
That questioned him in Greek:
He looked again, and found it was
The Middle of Next Week.
‘The one thing I regret,’ he said,
‘Is that it cannot speak!’
He thought he saw a Banker's Clerk
Descending from the ‘bus:
He looked again, and found it was
A Hippopotamus.
‘If this should stay to dine,’ he said,
‘There won't be much for us!’
He thought he saw a Kangaroo
That worked a coffee-mill:
He looked again, and found it was
A Vegetable-Pill.
‘Were I to swallow this,’ he said,
‘I should be very ill!’
He thought he saw a Coach-and-Four
That stood beside his bed:
He looked again, and found it was
A Bear without a Head.
‘Poor thing,’ he said, ‘poor silly thing!
It's waiting to be fed!’
He thought he saw an Albatross
That fluttered round the lamp:
He looked again, and found it was
A Penny-Postage-Stamp.
‘You'd best be getting home,’ he said,
‘The nights are very damp!’
He thought he saw a Garden-Door
That opened with a key:
He looked again, and found it was
A Double Rule of Three:
‘And all its mystery,’ he said,
‘Is clear as day to me!’
He thought he saw an Argument
That proved he was the Pope:
He looked again, and found it was
A Bar of Mottled Soap.
‘A fact so dread,’ he faintly said,
‘Extinguishes all hope!’
-- ‘Sylvie and Bruno’,
Lewis Carroll, 1832-1898

Hello to you, Maj!
I didn't get a chance to answer your comment about our new dog the other day.
We got her May 14th. Our vet found her wandering out by his house in the country and called my mom to see if she wanted to take her and give her a home. He said he thinks Sissy is about the same age as Chachi - three years old and they are exactly the same size. She is the sweetest little girl dog and Chachi and Sissy got along really well during the "home trial", so my mom said she would take her. Her little silky terrier had passed away last spring and she missed having a little dog to cuddle and care for. My mom and Sissy bonded immediately. Sadly, she only had Sissy for about six weeks before she died. Sissy is our dog now and we love her so much. She is the funniest little girl, a real comedienne. She makes me laugh all the time.
She came from a loving home, she is very well behaved and loves all people. We have no idea what her history is or how she got separated from her family. The vet called around to the animal shelters and checked the paper. No one reported a lost dog matching her description.

Thank you, Dolly, for the link to the rest of the story and the photos. I am so glad it all came out as it did....except, you went through such stress over this for so long AND now have to pay your attorney. Did I read correctly that the accuser and her attorney did not show up? Seems to me the accuser should be paying your attorney fees. This just doesn't seem right. :-(

The Lewis Carroll dream/poem - delightful!
To: jaycee
Absolutely beautiful....picture and words. You’ve done it again, Lori. Thank you, jaycee. You have a wonderful day too!
To: GodBlessUSA
Hi GeeBee! Thanks for popping by. Hope you have a really nice day.
To: Mama_Bear
I have noticed that time runs differently in dreams.
A whole day can be compressed into one 90 minute dream.
Or, five minutes can be stretched into four hours of dream.

To: Mama_Bear
I have some pretty disturbing
dreams as well.
Sometimes gives me inspiration.
