I think his brain was half asleep The candle tipped over onto the rug Jack flipped a table and broke a mug He crashed to the floor and hit ground I am told it made … Continue reading Jack be nimble Jack be quick

 So he waited, with his legs hanging over the side of the chair, twiddling his thumbs and thinking of corny jokes that had nothing to do with corn. Finally, he got up, stretched and went out of the room to get a coffee. 20 minutes later, Mike trotted back with a spring in his step, … Continue reading Don’t let the cat out of the bag pt2

 No pun intended (you'll get it later). Visability: 27% Battery: 47%  Health: 100%  6:00am.  23℃ System check complete... The monitor screen blinked and ran a system check. Mike watched enthusiastically, ready to start the day. “Well, it couldn’t get better!”, he exclaimed to a sullen, grumpy man named Tim. “I woke up today two hours … Continue reading Don’t let the cat out of the bag (1)
