The tortoise and the hare
have nothing on this pair.
The smugger the daunt,
the cheerier the taunt:
“Ya snooze, ya lose, mon frère!”
Yes, dear reader, I heard it myself.
That’s exactly what the little guy said as he churned by.

Happy Wednesday. I hope your feathered friends keep you smiling all day.

Thanks, Judy! Maybe a smile there too.

I always trust the eye witnesses 🙂
Thanks for the smile.

Absolutely. And you’re welcome: I owed you a couple!

I’ll remember ‘The smugger the daunt, / the cheerier the taunt’. That’s one I only understand obliquely, but sounds so good, it ought to be instantly internalised.

Indeed. There are so many times I wish for a cheery taunt but I can’t think of one until hours later. It’s an art, to be sure.
