We all know someone who causes us to wonder if
they seek caffeine out or if caffeine seeks them out.
They always appear to be functioning on hyper speed
and espresso is like their nitrous oxide boost.
And if they also tend to be talkers, well, let's just say,
you're in for a ride! Their stories are quick and you gotta
keep up, 'cause when their train leaves the station,
there is no time for dillydallying!
Like a grand maestro, animated hand gestures
- a dart here, a flourishing sweep there -
punctuate their breakneck adventurous tales!
And if the hands are not enough, the eyes fill in a whole
other part of the story, like a cinematic, musical backdrop!
Eyes widened during suspenseful, high-flying scenes,
narrowed for the thought-provoking, solemn scenes,
and the eyebrows, well, the eyebrows are so constantly
knitting and parting and capable of such crinkling contortions,
you'd think they were performing an interpretative
dance of the story all on their own!
"Skittle and Chippy"
(watercolour and ink)
These are the smile-inducing musings of Skittle the squirrel,
whenever her afternoon coffee break coincides with Chippy's!
