*Squawk! Quack! Squack, even!* I must say, Miss Towne Cryer, it's about time you cried around this towne. We have sorely missed your towne crying of late, and now that we have all this craziness going on with kicking and smashing and quilting and poupee-ing, we are in dire need of a loud cry like only you, the Towne Cryer, can cry! *Squawk-squawk!* Oh, goodness! *Quack-quack!* Oh, gracious!! The bell is ringing and you are crying and I'm running amok, once again! Just another day in the cuckoo's nest! And whilst we are on the subject of cuckoos, my very close relatives, BTW, *this* bird wants to know more about this deal you mentioned to the Courier Editors! *quackquackquackquack!!!* Con-quack-ulations are in order, indeed! *Squawk! Squawk again!* I'm waddling off home now, though, as it's hard to do this much squawking without breathing, and you have instructed me that not breathing is the thing to do, so I'm not breathing at all, even though I'm still trying to...squawk.....gasp....wheeeeeeeeeze.....PLOP! *Miss Paddle Tale flops over awkwardly, like...like... like a DUCK OUTTA WATER!* (Sorry...couldn't resist...hehe!)
Yours Gasping, Wheezing, and still Faintly Squawking,
Miss Blue-in-the-Beak Paddle Tale
