Gentleman caller

by the Night Writer

We had a distinguished gentleman calller in our front yard on a recent misty Sunday morning. Meet Thomas:

The Mall Diva took the photo. And Picklesworth commemorated the arrival poetically.

    You know that it’s name is Thomas? Looks more like a Ferdinand to me.

    He could be the same guy that was on our block on 4-8. I wondered where he was off to. Ferdinand works for me.

    He’s a Thomas, but most would call him Tom, for short.

  4. you didn’t invite him in for dinner?

  5. Rev. Mother

    Should have.

  6. Finally, a suitor for Tiger Lilly that NW really could blow away with a shotgun! And he’s in season now, too!

    OK, not in town, but…. :^)

  7. NW : You could even take it down with The Judge.

    Nice beard on him…he looks delicious.

    Oy. Another one? Alright, get in line…

    Da Judge is kind of noisy, and I don’t know that .410 will pierce turkey feathers. The harpoon is silent but deadly; unfortunately I couldn’t induce him to come into the garage. The wild ones are smarter than the domesticated ones…or the jakes still in high school.
