Two Rabbits
Once upon a time, there were two rabbits hoppity-hopping across a glade. "If I were quicker," the first one told the second one, "No predator would ever catch me."
"And if I had bigger teeth," answered the second one, "I would eat coyotes."
"And if I had bigger teeth," answered the second one, "I would eat coyotes."
Moral: A wish is the second of half of a gift.
YEARN, v.i. To indulge the appetite for hunger.
Rabbit, rabbit

rabbit, rabbit (two rabbits) - A temporary condition that exists before two rabbits copulate, thereby changing the conditions to:

Rabbit rabbit.
ReplyDeleteYearn: To have achy breakiness in your heart.
If wishes were horses, then beggers would ride.
yearn, v. to egotistically demand tomorrow's lessons today...usually that of regret
ReplyDeleteconejo, congrejo
ReplyDeleteyearn: the first half of the wish.
yearn, passions of the flesh
ReplyDelete(if I were soapie, I'd say: "Devil get thee out" right about now!)
Life is a yearny, not a destination? ; )
ReplyDeleteRabbit, Rabbit.
and, thank you Joel for not adding "neener neener" to your happy declaration of first! *grumble grumble*
Yearn: realization that your arms are too short, your appetite's too big, and/or your pocket's too shallow.

ReplyDelete"Dude, you look stupid."
ReplyDelete"Same as you, dude."
"Well, whose bright idea was it to yell 'Rabbit, rabbit!' at a Harry Potter convention?"
"I never expected those damned wands to work, dude!"
"Yeah, right. And I'll bet you thought 'Tricks are for kids', too. Nowbr/>
"Yearn for a bunny hop?"
I yearn to understand the moral of this parable.
ReplyDeleteRabbit Rabbit!
ReplyDeleteyearn: something that's bigger than the birthday candles.
Loved the parable.
I want you now
ReplyDeleteTomorrow won't do
There's a yearning inside
And it's showing through
one time I dreamed of that song. Gore was singing it in a huge arena, a black girl and me were dancing behind. then he turned and couldn't get his eyes off us anymore, he stopped singing but the music went on. I suddenly understood when I woke up, I can dance as nicely as a baby elephant, no wonder he was shocked. I have always wished to impress him in other ways, though...
Well, well done, Joel.
ReplyDeletePoobah, that's why I keep dogs. I have a bunny plague.
Clever definition, Minka.
TLP, that's a magnificent quote. A TLP original?
Minka, that was Biercean. To wish that last century's wisdom won't be true tomorrow?
Conejo, Conejo, amigo viejo.
Minka, why do people keep bringing up barbecue here?
Well-written, Puppybrose.
Amoeba, one must be careful with magic. It can't be reasoned with.
Me too, Nessa.
G, hope the cake is fine.
Ariel, that is a Depeche Mode anecdote from a dream?
rabbit, rabbit!
