Valentine Mischief

No one at home on Valentine’s Day, our lips were already locked. Getting used to being alone, our plans would have left you shocked. Back from vacation, the Basement Trolls came strolling in, our night was lost. But wait! My Hubby had planned ahead, perhaps we were still star-crossed. Unleash the Closet Trolls his voice rang out! I’m sending you on patrol! To the rescue came his brand new chums. The Closet Trolls were in control. He knew he was ahead, in this game, as he got back to soundly kissing me. Deflecting the Big Trolls? No Luck, or had you already forgot? You’ll see… First they decided to chase the squirrels away from around, our window trees. It began to look a bit like the Circus Soleil, rather than, our bedroom fantasies. I think we may have started a war, between the Closet Trolls and the squirrels. This became a possibility, as Trolls fell into the birdbath, as the water swirled. All we’d meant, was to distract the Basement Trolls, from finding us in progress. But they came up for a better view, and yep, that was us, they found breathless. Now giving up on all our plans, Circus Trolleil became the topic of the day. So we sent the Basement Trolls into the fray, to make peace for all, in any way. Next year, we’ll convince them to stay, on vacation in the snow another week. And then the Closet Trolls will be sent to guard the zoo across town, so to speak. Now don’t be surprised, we’d had a good time… the kisses were really great. But, a little more would have been a great treat, for oldsters like us, at any rate. In the mean time, Circus Troleil will be a truly happening thing, coming real soon. Grandpa Troll made a truce between the squirrels and the Closet Trolls. Thank You! Now, they practice together every day, for a Vegas debut, soon, with Mac Raccoon. And Valentines Day can be planned, as a small little get away, later, as opportune.
