Ffolkes,
but it confirms the judgment of nature.”
~~ Cicero ~~
Life was here….
Hajime….. Today’s Pearl doesn’t exist. Oh, I know you see what looks like one, but, it isn’t what you think. A week or more of insomnia has taken its toll, & I don’t even have the chutzpah to go look for an archived Pearl to re-blog. Instead, I’m taking the day off, and will return tomorrow, with a full Pearl worth reading…. Well, as much as they ever are. For today, you get the simple seven star old-school pearl I have ready, and, that’s it…. Sorry, but, it will have to do…. In fact, we’ll get to that right now, so I can start my day off…. Here’s how that looks today….
Shall we Pearl?….

When I works, I works hard.
When I sits, I sits loose.
When I thinks, I falls asleep.
Which is Why….
Sometimes I sits and thinks,
and sometimes,
I just sits.
