the departure of a friend

so the two made plans

 and set courses and made sure of all the nautical thingamajigs's

that are necessary for a world traveller to have

before he sets off on a voyage

of great importance

and they did their best to make sure all was

ship shape

if not this time

fancy free

..................

blue noticed that there was an address

for Auntie Mia

something that started with an

F

maybe that's where

JOE

was

but Henri

who could read a little better than a tiny blue bird

who is trying to fix his house in this

down economy

said that

JOE

was in fact

on Brighton Beach

and Henri knew where that was

being the world traveller that he is

so that is where he would set off for

after finding an

oceangoingvessel

 of course

 Henri pointed out that the poster described

JOE

to a T

 it would be easy to find him

fu fu was still on the

carpet of flowers

but she had stopped sobbing

she was now thinking

more than sobbing

and she got up and said

nothing is accomplished if one

 just gives in

or gives up

and we

 don't do either

we get

zen

we have a stiff upper lip

and

 we do what is necessary

and

what is necessary

is

...

a shower

I need to clean up and clear my head

and with that

she went off to have a shower...

in her

rather attractive

new

shower cap

.............................................

because a little bunnie

cannot be

prim or proper or polite

if she is not

clean
