I hope your fabulous story about the prodigious duck gets plenty of positive comments, quite the opposite of my "Lyin' King" 8 months in the making and ignored like the proverbial motherless child. Have a good weekend. Auntie
Can't wait to see it. You no doubt heard Woody Allen's joke about the lady who brought her spouse to a shrink to tell him t that for the past twenty years her husband thought he was a chicken. "Twenty years!" the shrink cried. "Why did you wait so long." "Because we needed the eggs." Auntie

Before he forever damned himself by appearing in a film with Rambo, I always thought of BM as "The Penguin" in Batman.
Sometime when you're bored, plug "twilight zone" + Burgess Meredith into the "Google" machine. Maybe a plot summary of the TZ episode in question will come up. I'd summarize but I don't want to have to put "Spoiler alert" on top of the page. I actually saw leaf-cutter ants in action, at a children's science museum not far from Cornell U. Fascinating! You could watch those little buggers working all day -- busier than "bees." Whoops! Colonies or hives, you're a better poet than most of us, if not all. auntie
Ah, Yes, I remember it now... It is,like almost everything he wrote, sheer perfection. Do you remember The Curb in the Sky? Another of my favourites

It's one of me ferrets, Auntie. Oh and the, "It's still warm," is a line spoken by captain Barbossa played by Geoffrey Rush (my avatar) when, having demanded the return of the dress he'd given to Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley) she strips and throws it at him. He then made her walk the plank. My kind of guy, that Barbossa Oh, and I hope you don't take as long to retoin as Mac did! Lol
Just noticed your new story about the lions--have to fix what's-his-name's supper now, but in the words of Gen. Corncobpipe, "I shall retoin." PS Who is that in your pic, a meerkat? And I've been meaning to ask: What's "still warm?"
I spent an hour replying to this, stopped to google something and lost it all! I'll send you an email after I make what's his name's sandwich. ADDED 6:58 EDT: All set. Look in your inbox on your email account. I really didn't mind having to do a "do-over"--your story was definitely worth the time.
