Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for March 15, 2021

Like a lot of thing we get involved in it’s sink or swim.

Or what? You’ll make waves?

When was the last time anyone wanted to storm your shores, old girl? Right after Belgrano?

Waters not broken yet

If you want to pull the tiger’s tail, you better have a plan for the teeth.

It’s nothing like being tossed into the deep end.

No testing from here. No sir ‘mam.

“Cannon Baaall!”

And swim with sharks, huh Aunty!!!

I’m not walking, dearie, I’m running.

We’d need a litmus test.

Aunty, if you go testing my waters, you’d better be courteous to the kraken.

Swimming isn’t the problem.

It’s getting Out of the pool after.

You! Out of the gene pool! (My thoughts when I hear the insurrectionists flap their gums.)
