Well now I am mildly amused. Seems to be that this year is the year of the Rat. Now some one needs to wright a tune for this one. That's the least that should be done! After all I think many out there remember the tune entitled "year of the cat"
This ratty year may be more amusing to myself than to others. That is because---- well-----um I am not to sure how to explain this so that those out there can understand what I am trying to say.
Some times -- well maybe a tad bit more than sometimes my head gets filled up. I'm not sure with what. All I know is that it does and then I need to attend to my head.
If you can picture rats running around trying to catch there tails----yes they run around the perimeter of my head. And I just noticed (maybe it always was this way -- but I just noticed THIS.-----While the rats run around the perimeter, gerbils are fighting more around the center of my head. I don't know if i should admitt this -- some people may wish they had my head it is most interesting indeed--- cause these rodents make rodent sounds one to another -- and then they gnaw away on the contents of my head. I think they do this to make sure that I am aware of their flat out activity.
This parellel reality is a bit quirky becaus I some times do listen quite attentively to what they are trying to say to one another and to myself for that matter.
And just when I find myself listening in --- they change language on me --- leavng me quite out in the cold -- which causes then to chuckle and get back to gnawing.
However entertained my "friends" make me -- there are times when I just can't have any more activity going on in there - times when work must be done and my full attention is needed. That's when they become most active -- trying to make them selves known loud and clear!! And those are the times when I can not allow them full range to run wild and at will.
So what do I do? ?? Well ---- I make a cup of tea. Sit down -- open my favorite book and just let the words find there way from my pen onto the page. Some times they flow smoothy, rhythmicly somewhat of a classical musical style -- some times they march right onto my page. Yes all the letters stand at attention -- then they do it they just start to march across the page!
Now and then the words that I am writing starting talking to each other. Quite delightfully interesting -- the individual letters I mean - they begin to chat to one another!
I once listened in on an extremely intellegent conversation -- yes extremely intellegent -- scholarly -- indeed. Yes..M and T had there conversation going on while H and C bickered back and forth... And so the activity finally slows
down. I think they all get on their jammies and start a nap at just the time that I lay my pen down.
Oh yes the name of the book . The book that my pen writes in. The books title I mean. The title---- "The Rat Trap"
