I bet you won't get to sleep tonight old man.....I'll prepare some nice STRONG BLACK TEA for you old mate, and keep you up to avoid any further nightmares!!! But what was that pink stuff I saw rumpled up in your wardrobe? Any chance of a pink bonnet in the making? Come on now son, FESS UP! TEA

Rattus Scribus said...

Rattus: I don't think I'll ever see pink the same way again. Or apples for that matter. Or ribbon, or dinner plates, or...

TeaRat: Calm yourself old thing. It was all just a bad dream.

Rattus: OK. What's for lunch? I'm famished.

TeaRat: A marvelous brie with hints of lavender, Served with sliced Pink Lady apples and pink champagne.

Rattus: Ω¢µ¶∆§µ!!

TeaRat: GANGWAY!

Rattus Scribus said...

Rattus: No. No pink bonnets hidden in my chifforobe.

Tea: Your what?

Rattus: My CHIFFOROBE!

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

HAAAHAAAHAAA! What a HOOT! Hey Rattus... Are you quite sure that was just a dream? teehee
Bebe

Rattus Scribus said...

Everyone keeps telling me it was a dream -- nightmare more like. But then again, everyone still tries to get me to wear pink Easter bonnets. Sounds to me like I haven't awoken yet.
Rattus

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

I have a lampshade you can borrow Rattus! Would that do? Orrrrrrrrrr, you can zip over to mums and come to the Luau! Bring a coconut would you?
Bebe

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

GREAT DRAWING!!! Poor Rattus... All wound up in PINK! teeheee
Penny

Christel said...

what a fun post these past couple have been. Both have been coupled with wonderful illustration ~ Christel

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

Then let us follow suit with Bebe's Luau idea...any grass skirts in your CHIFFAROBE, RATTUS? COme on now son, FESS UP! You know you love to shake your bum every so often and PARTAAAAYYY! Tea Rat

Rattus Scribus said...

Alright, alright. Let it never be said that Rattus C. Scribus was a spoil sport. I'll wear the grass skirt, as the males of the islands that have luau feasts wear them in keeping with their cultural norms. BUT NO PINK BONNETS.

Rattus

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

YIPEEE! Then to the drawing board it is for TEA RAT....let's see....you shall sport a lovely grass skirt....

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

Get the camera out.. This I have to capture on film.. Rattus in his grass skirt! Yipeeeeeeeeeeee
Bebe

Rattus Scribus said...

What's going on here? You all like to dress up male rats in female clothing. Things have really changed in Nowhere since I was budding rat.

Rattus

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

Ok Rattus..... Would a black suit and tie do? Of course you will need to find some snappy SOCKS!
Bebe

Rattus Scribus said...

Oh, a dark tweed suit (with matching vest of course) would be just splendid.

I know just the place to find an appropriate ascot and foot stockings.

Thank the stars that someone understands the dignity with which a rat should comport himself.

These are not matters small.

Rattus Scribus

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

But even a dignified rat has to shake his bum once in a while!!!

Rattus Scribus said...

My dear Lady,

I can't say as I like the derogatory term "bum," but why on earth would I walk up to some forlorn, destitute individual on the street and shake him?

Would we not be the most uncharitable of creatures if we added, to his misfortune of poverty, violent harassment?

No, a dignified rat most definitely does not go about shaking "bums" as you put it.

Sincerely,
Rattus

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

Old man, you need a dictionary of the vernacular...where have you been, son? TEA RAT

Rattus Scribus said...

Hummm. Let's see now.

"Bum": (noun), British slang, "buttocks."

Used in colloquial expressions, such as: (a) "He's speaking out of his bum" (He doesn't know what he's talking about); or (b) to "shake one's bum" (to dance; discard inhibitions; throw caution to the wind; live with abandon; party).

I understand now, Tea old thing. I heartily agree that there is a time for everything, including to relax and party.

After all, who knows how to party more than we rats, eh?

Rattus

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

THERE YOU GO....see how useful a dictionary is old thing? NOW ARE YOU READY and BOLD ENOUGH to wear a grass skirt and join Bebe in BLUE HAWAII? ARE YOU WILLING TO SHAKE YOUR BUM? That is where the rubber meets the road Rattus...are you a REAL PARTY RAT? Tea Rat

Rattus Scribus said...

Grass skirts? Sure. The males of HI-WHY-HEE wear them. "When in Rome" and all that, you know.

Shake the bum? Sure. You first.

Rattus

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

Stop, stop!! Your killing me...TOO FUNNY!!! HAAHAAAAAAAAA
Bebe

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

Don't forget to breath dearest Penny! Let's see if I can get Rattus dressed in his grass skirt before the day escapes me....Anita
