And if that bastard’s innocent,” Rhage spoke up, “I’m the fucking Easter bunny.”
“Oh, good,” someone quipped. “I’m calling you Hop-along Hollywood from now on.”
“Beasty Bo Peep,” somebody else threw out.
“We could put you in a Cadbury ad and finally make some money—”
“People,” Rhage barked, “the point is that he is not innocent and I’m not the Easter bunny—”
“Where’s your basket?”
“Can I play with your eggs?”
“Hop it out, big guy—”

I wrote poetry from the time I could write. That was the only way I could begin to express who I was but the poems didn't make sense to my teachers. They didn't rhyme. They were about the wind sounds, the planets' motions, never about who I was or how I felt. I didn't think I felt anything. I was this mind more than a body or a heart. My mind photographing the stars, hearing the wind.

I’m not trying to impress you,” he replied, glancing up at the front of the room. “Gads,” he said, blinking in surprise. “What is that ?”
Hyacinth followed his gaze. Several of the Pleinsworth progeny, one of whom appeared to be costumed as a shepherdess, were milling about.
“Now that’s an interesting coincidence,” Gareth murmured.
“It might be time to start bleating,” she agreed.
“I thought this was meant to be a poetry recitation.”
Hyacinth grimaced and shook her head. “An unexpected change to the program, I’m afraid.”
“From iambic pentameter to Little Bo Peep?” he asked doubtfully. “It does seem a stretch.”
Hyacinth gave him a rueful look. “I think there will still be iambic pentameter.”
His mouth fell open. “From Peep?”
She nodded, holding up the program that had been resting in her lap. “It’s an original composition,” she said, as if that would explain everything. “By Harriet Pleinsworth.The Shepherdess, the Unicorn, and Henry VIII .”
“All of them? At once?”
“I’m not jesting,” she said, shaking her head.
“Of course not. Even you couldn’t have made this up.”
Hyacinth decided to take that as a compliment.
“Why didn’t I receive one of these?” he asked, taking the program from her.
“I believe it was decided not to hand them out to the gentlemen,” Hyacinth said, glancing about the room. “One has to admire Lady Pleinsworth’s foresight, actually. You’d surely flee if you knew what was in store for you.

What did you do to your hair? I don’t like it as
much.”
His brow knitted. “How do you like it?”
“I prefer the curls.”
He looked as if she’d told him she preferred him with three eyes. “You used to make fun of them. You told me that if Bo Peep had a child with one of her sheep it would have hair like mine.”
She burst out laughing—and gasped at the pain that shot through her scalp. “You are not making it up, are you? Did I really say that?”
“Sometimes you called me Goldilocks.”
She had to remind herself not to laugh again. “And you married me? I sound like a very odious sort of girl.”
“I was a very odious sort of boy, so you might say we were evenly matched.”
She didn’t know enough to comment upon that, but when he was near, she was… happier.

And go the fools among.

I'll begin again. Remember, you girning, snarl-voiced hell-bird of a detestable reader that you are, remember that the fight doesn't take place because Little Jack Horner ate all the pie, or because Little Bo-peep didn't mend Jack's socks, or didn't cook his dinner. Remember, you bitch, that the fight is over nothing at all, if it isn't everything. Remember that Jack and Jill are both decent people, not particularly bad-tempered, and not mean at all.
Therefore you sniffing, mongrel bitch of a reader, you can't sniff out any specific why or wherefore, with your carrion-smelling psycho-analysing nose because there is no why and wherefore. If fire meets water there's sure to be a dust. That's the why and wherefore.

March 8: Love Happy is released. Marilyn’s total screen time is thirty-eight seconds—long enough for Groucho to respond to her slinking into his detective agency office with the question, “Is there anything I can do for you?” He promptly responds, “What a ridiculous statement.” Marilyn tells him that men keep following her and sways out of camera range as Groucho comments, “Really? I can’t understand why.” Marilyn later recalled, “There were three girls there and Groucho had us each walk away from him. . . . I was the only one he asked to do it twice. Then he whispered in my ear, ‘You have the prettiest ass in the business.’ I’m sure he meant it in the nicest way.” Groucho later said Marilyn was “Mae West, Theda Bara and Bo Peep rolled into one.” Marilyn received $500 for her appearance and another three hundred to pose for promotional photographs. Marilyn is sent on a promotional tour for a fee of one hundred dollars a week. She meets dress manufacturer Henry Rosenfeld in New York City, and they become lifelong friends. During this period she also does her famous Jones Beach photo sessions with Andre de Dienes. The tour takes her to Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Rockford, Illinois. Marilyn attends a party at the Chicago nightclub Ricketts with Roddy McDowell. Marilyn appears in print advertisement for Kyron diet pills, with accompanying text: “If you want slim youthful lines like Miss Monroe and other stars, start the KYRON Way to slenderness—today!

LOLLIPOP DOLLS IS like some weird little girl's hunting lodge. The heads and faces of every Japanese cartoon character and monster are hung on the walls like trophies. Their plastic guts are in model kits on the shelves and their skins are draped on padded hangers in long rows of animal prints and Little Bo Peep frills. When I turn around, there's a platoon of twelve-year-old Cutie Honey types staring up at me, letting me know that I'm extremely not welcome. It's Village of the Damned with ankle socks.

Never Trust A Shepherdess
Never trust a shepherdess
Although she may look pretty
Beneath her lacy frilly dress
A heart beats without pity.
There’s furtive tales of Miss Bo Peep
Told behind closed doors
And just what happened to her sheep
Upon those silent moors
They never did return, you see
Though many tried to find them
They disappeared in mystery
Complete with tails behind them.
Dark doings lurk in hill and dale
Untold in nursery rhymes
‘Tis best that we should draw a veil
Across these rural crimes.
Don’t think of cruelty in the grass
Don’t think of woolly plight
Don’t think those thoughts that will not pass
Or let you sleep at night
So do not think of Miss Bo Peep
Or of that crook she wields
Or of those dark deeds buried deep
In England’s pleasant fields.
Unknowing we can only guess
The horrors that went down
Beware the Wicked Shepherdess
Who stalks Old London Town.

Silent morning
Quiet nature in dim light
It is almost peaceless of the chirping of birds
Waiting for the sunrise
Feeling satisfied with pure breath
Busy life- in pursuit of livelihood, running people
In the intensity of the wood-burning sun, astray finch
Sometimes the advent of north-wester
I’m scared
The calamitous heartache of the falling Caesalpinia pulcherrima!
Listen to get ears
Surprisingly I saw the unadulterated green weald
Vernal, yellow and crimson colors are the glorious beauty of the unique nature
An amazing reflection of Bengal
The housewife’s fringe of azure color sari fly in the gentle breeze
The cashew forest on the bank of flowing rivers white egret couple peep-bo
The kite crookedly flies get lost in the far unknown
The footstep of blustery childhood on the zigzag path
Standing on a head-high hill touches the fog
Beckoning with the hand of the magical horizon
The liveliness of a rainy-soaked juvenile
Momentary fascinated visibility of Ethnic group’s pineapple, tea, banana and jhum cultivation at the foot of the hill
Trailer- shrub, algae and pebble-stone come back to life in the cleanly stream of the fountain
Bumble bee is rudderless in the drunken smell of mountain wild flower
The heart of the most beloved is touched by pure love
In the distant sea water, pearl glow in the sunlight
Rarely, the howl of a hungry tiger float in the air from a deep forest
The needy fisherman’s hope and aspiration are mortgaged to the infinite sea
The waves come rushing on the beach delete the footprint to the beat of the dancing
The white cotton cloud is invisible in the bluey
The mew flies at impetuous speed to an unknown destination
A slice of happy smile at the bend of the wave
The western sky covered with the crimson glow of twilight
Irritated by the cricket’s endless acrid sound
The evening lamp is lit to flickering light of the firefly
The red crabs tittup wildly on the beach
Steadfast seeing
Sunset
A beautiful dream
Next sunrise.
