Tea Rat: Rattus, Rattus, Rattus....
Rattus: Calm yourself dear fellow. What is it?
Tea Rat: It's Bebe's mom's birthday. Let's get her something special. Really special. I mean really REALLY special. Truly and wonderfully spec...
Rattus: I get the drift. What do you have in mind?
Tea Rat: Let's buy her a pet Gurlumph! I saw one in my dream last night, and he's big, furry, 2-footed dog who just loves to play and make people happy.
Rattus: Wait a minute. You saw some fantastic 2-footed dog in your dreams, and you think we can just go out and buy one?
Tea Rat: Yeah. When can we go?
Rattus: Have you lost your senses? Go where? Nowhere is going to have a... watchamacallit...
Tea Rat: Gurlumph, Gurlumph. Get with the program, son.
Rattus: Gurlumph. Nowhere is going to have a Gurlumph.
Tea Rat: Then it's a good thing we live in Nowhere.
Rattus: No. I mean...
Tea Rat: Look. Did you or did not say that Nowhere is going to have a Gurlumph?
Rattus: Yes, but you bloody well know that I meant...
Tea Rat: Well then. Let's go.
Rattus: Where?
Tea Rat: A little slow on the uptake this morning, are we? Why to go find a Gurlumph, of course. Nowhere is going to have one. So let's go find one.
Rattus: You can't be serious...
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
Tea Rat: See who that is, son. I'll ready our trip.
(Answers the door)
Rattus: Yes, may I help you?
Mr. Blakenrosentauber (recently escaped from penitentiary and in disguise): Good afternoon. My name is...er...That is to say, my name is Jonathan Doe Smith Jones.
Rattus: He he he. That's quite a moniker you got there. Tell me, Mr. Doe Smith Jones, what can I do for you?
Blakenrosentauber: I am going door to door presenting the good citizens of Nowhere with THE opportunity of a life time.
Rattus: That right? And pray tell, what opportunity might that be? Cut to the chase. What are you selling?
Blakenrosentauber: Why just the most lovable, obedient, trouble free pet that the good Lord ever fit to put on this green earth: the one, the only, GURLUMPH!
Rattus (faints)
LATER
Tea Rat: Rattus, Rattus. You alright? Whatever happened?
Rattus: Oooh, I think I must have had a terrible dream.
Tea Rat: I'm good at that, interpreting dreams. Do tell me your dream.
Rattus: I dreamed that you had a dream about a huge 2-legged dog called a Gurlumph, and that you wanted to buy one for Bebe's mom's birthday, and just as I was explaining how ridiculous it is to think that such a fantastic creature as one dreams could actually be real, a Mr. Jonathan Doe Smith Jones came to door selling GURLUMPHS!
Tea Rat: Yes, yes. Gurlumphs. So far I see nothing strange.
Rattus (faints).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PENNY!
Tea Rat: Rattus, wake up son...have you been away SO LONG FROM NOWHERE that you have forgotten that ALL is possible here, and that NOTHING should appear to be strange? Do get with the program...CHOP CHOP!
Rattus: I suppose this means we are going in search of this beast you call a Gurlumph?
Tea Rat: There nothing good enough for our dear Penny! We shall go out and get the biggest and hairest and finest one that Mr. R. has in his stock. Come on, GET ON WITH IT!
OMG! What a wonderful surprise this is!!!!!!!!
Thank you dear Tea Rat and Rattus for thinking of me and gathering all my friends to celebrate.. I have never seen them all together.
Honestly, you two just CRACK me up. A GURLUMPH? This I would like to see.. I have never met a Gurlumph before... I wonder if Bebe has ever seen one.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU,
Anita, Ruben, Tea Rat and Rattus!
Love,
Penny
What a PARTY!!!!!! I shall gather all the creatures here and have them sing Happy Birthday to Penny!
{and then eat cake}
Drifter thought he heard a Gurlumph at the door last night! He was sure of it!!!!!
~ Violet
Tea Rat: MISS VIOLET, I see you have come to bid our dear Penny a fine birthday! And I do believe Drifter was correct in spotting a true Gurlumph - if we are unable to acquire said beast, would Drifter be willing to stand in? HE GETS TO EAT CAKE!
Rattus: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our fine friend, and Miss Violet, it is a pleasure to have you here. PASS THE CAKE!
How's everybody doing....more cake? More punch? How's the birthday girl?
Bebe here... Sorry I am late, but MUM FORGOT to tell me about the party.. Go figure... Is there any cake left? Did you know who HOG it all? Yummy looing cake by the way! Thank you Violet. You did a beautiful job.
Now what is this about a Gurlumph!
What kind of creature is this, and should I need a hiding place?
Bebe out!
The birthday girl is STUFFED and full of joy! I should have only had one piece of cake...
Thank you so much Anita!
Love you
Penny

xoxo..T.D
Gurlumph, gurlumph, gurlumph, gurlumph.
Two feet like stumps and ears a-frump.
I jumps like a rabbit and lands with a thump,
and the sound that I makes is gurlumph, gurlumph.
Gurlumph, gurlumph, gurlumph, gurlumph.
I'm huge and hairy and a back with a hump.
I loves to eat while I sits on my rump,
and the sound when I chews is gurlumph, gurlumph.
Gurlumph, gurlumph, gurlumph, gurlumph.
Please gives me some cake in clumps and clumps.
We'll eats and eats till we're all good and plump,
and the sound when we walks is gurlumph, gurlumph.
Happy Birthday, Penny and Violet.
Gurlumph.
