Give Peace a Chance

I missed John Lennon's birthday on October 8th, but it's never too late to give peace a chance.

Give Peace a Chance
- John Lennon

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, ism ism ism
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

(C'mon)
Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout
Minister, Sinister, Banisters and Canisters,
Bishops, Fishops, Rabbis, and Pop Eyes, Bye bye, Bye byes
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

(Let me tell you now)
Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout
Revolution, Evolution, Masturbation, Flagellation, Regulation,
Integrations, mediations, United Nations, congratulations
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout
John and Yoko, Timmy Leary, Rosemary,
Tommy Smothers, Bobby Dylan, Tommy Cooper,
Derek Taylor, Norman Mailer, Alan Ginsberg, Hare Krishna
Hare Hare Krishna
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Pretty things here. World peace... still elusive.

In a Rabbity Mood... or a Mabbity Rood

Runny Babbit lent to wunch
And heard the saitress way,
"We have some lovely stabbit rew --
Our Special for today."

~ Shel Silverstein

Here is a verse about rabbits
That doesn't mention their habits.

Ogden Nash

delivering eggs
wanted, more rabbits for job
this works for me - you?

~ Grannyeri

Do not rely upon a rabbit's foot for luck. After all, it didn't work out too well for the rabbit. Did it?

A sly rabbit will have three openings to its den.

~Chinese Proverb

What can I say? I was in a rabbity mood... or a mabbity rood. More mabbits here.

I Think We Have a Winner!

So many of you have entered the drawing for the Cornerstoregoddess bracelet in lovely shade of orange.

First Uncle Buck wrote each entry on a scrap of paper. She doesn't write very well, so she asked George to help her.

She couldn't find the beaded hat, so she put the entries into a shoe. (Uncle Buck likes shoes.) Then she got up on the top of the stairs and posed while pondering how to jump into the shoe.

At last she leapt into the shoe...

...and pulled out a winner.

And the winner is...

(wait for it)...

Ericka Wildgirl Dana!

Uncle Buck and George are doing a high-five on your behalf!

Ericka, email me and confirm your shipping info and your beautiful bracelet will be on its way!

Thanks to all whom participated. Uncle Buck reminds you to keep the Halloween spirit and have a great season! (More autumnal goodies in the store to keep you happy until the next giveaway.)

It's Not Too Late for Your Halloween Niceandshinythings

Day After Halloween

by Shel Silverstein

Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
Skeletons, spirits and haunts.
It's a Halloween sale:
A nickel a pail
For skeletons, spirits and haunts.

Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
More than most anyone wants.
Will you pay for a shock,
'Cause we're quite overstocked
On skeletons, spirits and haunts.
