The streets of the South Bay are littered with them, lying forlorn and agape by the side of an open drain, watching me as I drive about my daily business. Occasionally, I’ll stop, pick one up and add it to my Bag of Definite Articles, to donate to yet another person who habitually drops them.

Haha. This is lovely. I was discussing with a friend last evening, about how people drop vowels from words and consider it cool. The conversation though, was nowhere close to being this creative! 🙂
😀
P.S. I’d talk to you even if you hadn’t offered that bar of chocolate. 😛
>>Alice:
Now, now Alice don’t be naughty
Your PS cap fits perfectly on me
But back to missing ‘the’s
From drains she picks up hers
Then distributes ’em wherever necessary!
@Aunty G: Don’t know who you are, and where, and can’t spout verses beautiful as yours, but I do know that I “always” love reading your comments on OJ’s posts.
Thanks OJ for being the medium. 🙂
Alice, i feel like wonderland myself
When OJ chooses to express herself
Thank you for the compliment
More, expressing the sentiment
And yes, OJ’s put us in touch with many an elf!
arayans: 🙂
R: It’s freaky how many parallel conversations we have!
alice: Awww, thank you, honey! ❤
& Aunty G: Carry on, you two!
