"Black and white in want of each other, and not in need, inevitably; of my following sampling's POV," ... by the Poet. Pandas are loners, though my statement is a misconception of the simple fact of reproduction and raising. Two credible factors bear on Pandas in the wild, but once they've matured on both points, they part company to be alone. Between Ludwig van Beethoven and Danny Kaye, tickling those Ivories is a statement for only Kaye since Ivory wasn't a commodity to Pianos over a century old. Striking those 88s does apply, most admirably, for both Piano players. Dalmatians, a hallmark of fire stations, though by law no animals are allowed, except registered seeing-eye dogs or rescue squads are at the station with qualified animals, or when FEMAs there and their entitled animals. Possible fun things to see: an Orca reading a Newspaper held up on an aquarium glass; a Penguin nudge a Domino toppling more; a Skunk riding a Zebra-back; in The UK, a Scots girl holding a Soccer Ball under her arm wearing a Pirate's eye patch Skull and Crossbones gazes with her other eye at the inviting Night Sky Stars and Moon while eating an Oreo Cookie, now looks both ways before walking on the Pedestrian Crossing a street as men play Dice on a sidewalk outside a pub in dark Manchester. *B&Ws in capital letters

a creative take and entry for the 'black and white contest.' I enjoyed reading about all things black & white, especially those adorable pandas. And what about an Orca reading a black on white newspaper...so clever. Have a splendid evening, Sara

As I noted in my quotes, there are not uniquely B&Ws, there are Red & White Pandas, baby grey and rare white penguins, brown & white piano keys, and newspaper print colors. Craig NOW states no listing--I believe my Scot soccer girl is what he's looking for, hence my elaboration in this late submission, Aloha, William
