55- Panda-monium



She wears a little white hat

With panda ears, eyes and nose

And two panda-paws on strings



Ice skating, we play tag

Dodging others

(Sometimes even successfully)



Laughing, she’s a happy panda

Until I skate by, tapping her elbow

and she’s “IT”



Angry panda-skates tear up the ice

the chase is on-

I am Bamboo.

Got 55 words burning a hole in your pocket? Toss 'em toward G-Man.


To be fair, I was skating backwards at top speed when I caused a ruckus-on-the-rink last night. No one was actually injured, although many people laughed. A lot. I think it might be good for them- it sounded a little rusty, unused, this whole laugh-thing.


Get out there, people. Laugh some. Live a lot.

Better watch, it G... you're 'bout to find out how much I dislike nicknames.

Good for you for pulling guffaws from a few sad souls. You lightened the world for a day. How about we call you "angel" instead. :)

Margaret said...

awe. My little fellow has frog hat with two frog ears and little red mittens with strings on. (He STILL looses them anyway) We used to ice skate every winter in an outdoor rink under the stars in Northern Michigan. I do miss that.

That laugh-thing needs to ring out louder!

Awesome, playful- thanks for the fun! :)

Gaelyn said...

I'm sure my ice skating, and falling down, would cause a lot of laughter. Which we could all use a lot more of. Just thinking of the little panda skating and tearing up the ice makes me smile. Thanks.

MorningAJ said...

I can't skate. I guess I'd be panda food!

Danni said...

This made me laugh. I am imagining angry pandas ice skating.

Yvonne Osborne said...

Hi!
I won't call you Bambi. Ice Skating is one thing I never learned to do but always wanted to.

We don't laugh enough....you're right about that. A good belly laugh makes you feel so good. Have a good weekend!

Mama Zen said...

Sounds like fun to me! Have a great holiday, Ti.

Sandy Carlson said...

Indeed! Let's all have some fun and laugh out loud!

PattiKen said...

I love those moments when something brings total strangers together in shared spontaneous laughter. Everyone leaves feeling better.

Good for you for causing one of those moments.

Lisa T said...

There should be no unused laughter in the world!

Snowcatcher said...

I literally died laughing. Thanks for a great end-of-year smile!
