Can Somebody Reach Me Some Cucumber?

Sloth and Manatee are friends. They are currently on the moon. They have also been all around on the Earth and in the Ocean.

Reaching toward the sun

Maybe I’ll get picked today

To be a salad

-this and following Haikus written by: A (talented) head of lettuce


Growing in the ground

It’s not easy being green

But I enjoy it


If you know someone who enjoys lettuce haiku or talking sloths or Tarot, please share this with them

Rain and yet more rain

I’m soggy but undeterred

Slowly adding leaves


Can you see the sun

Raining down its energy

Photosynthesis

Typewriter Story 62-65

Clouds are drifting by

I would wave if I knew how

A tiny green clump


A bunny runs by

I would join in all the fun

But I’m just a plant


Feeling very big

I am made of everything

Air and rain and soil

License cartoons for all your book, newsletter, presentation, merchandise, refrigerator door, and tattoo (not really but that would be cool) needs

CartoonStock

Birds fly overhead

Must be cool to be so high

I stick to the ground


Bees buzzing around

They make my life possible

Groovy little bug

If you are a subscriber, fantastic, and if you’re not yet, the Wise Rock and Frog of Knowledge would love to have you.

It’s a sunny day

I will stretch my leaves out big

To catch all the rays


Puddles on the ground

Raindrops falling on my head

Water everywhere

Please enjoy a nonexistent Tarot card with Something To Tell You

A new commission for Jeremy, who wanted a New Zealand Fantail bird as a kind of mascot for his round-the-world bike tour that he’s on - it’s his favorite bird and they are really adorable, get a look at one in the wild here - thanks Jeremy!

May you reach for the sun, may you dance with a well-dressed cat, won’t you be my neighbor?
