Kliban by B. Kliban for December 21, 2022

Deep.

The first draft of the Beatles song that would eventually be —

”The Fool on the Hill”:

… Day after day, alone on a hill

The root with the leafy top is keeping perfectly still

Though people stop to greet him,

They can see that he’s just a root

And he never gives an answer …

… But the root on the hill sees the sun going down

And the eyes in his head see the world spinning around …

Those poor slobs! It was ‘MRS.’ Carrot.

thanks to Mr Natural

You would think by now he would be shredded, peeled or smashed.

Orange you going to go home?

Next: Freddie tires of being a brick. : )

Apparently there are no wabbits in the vicinity. They must have made a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

This is a series concept that I could see going on for years.

I am more familiar with Captain Carrot, the six foot dwarf member of the Night Watch.
