Egg-Stant History 3

And how did things go with you, enquired the owl, of Dumpty.? Well he replied I travelled quite a time and saw a few things on the way..' anything that points to foul play said the bird? well on the way to where I ended up I came across some stuff said the Egg, really..' the owl intoned leaning ever so slightly toward the egg..' what does it ' entail' the bird asked? as at that moment it turned to preen its tail feathers..' well said Dumpty in a sibilant tone..! As a matter of fact I think it best to discuss it further at some distance from here..! really replied the owl again raising its eye feathers, and still managing to look refined in spite of a slight waddle as it hurried along..' I..I well I don't know quite how..how well how to put it said Dumpty..! to the owl, yet all the time looking over at the still prone form of the cat, but it appears.. Oh my: it seems...' Dumpty said; that his name is..well its considered well.. Its a..a (square word) some nice guy name of Daver Austin was celebrating some of your many exploits, and so on..and that's what happened..! It is as such classified.. I have even heard the name 'Moguls' mentioned..' in hushed tones around here,,' pray tell dear owl, are they descendants of that Genghis Khan; by any chance..? copyright joe maverick poetry 2014

Yes, Austin is constantly in touch with the white and yellow goo Humpty leaves around. The Owl and the Pussy cat have invited him to flee from the mess in their pea green boat, but he is getting too much fun out of listening to the adventures. Love, daver
