Remains

Jimmy James liked to whittle but did that very little. He wasted his days lost in a haze a mere jot and a tittle.

Thanks for commenting, Jan. There's an obsolete definition of "whittle" that states "to ply with liquor." And it seems to me that w-a-y back in my boyhood (though I had forgotten about it) there was still another definition of "whittle." Is that what is making you smile?
