    1. The owner of the "center brown guy"
      was probably doing a punching bag
      workout.

      The "ho-hum" carriage owner
      was probably attending
      a yoga class.

      As for their wards:
      both would be having
      a time of their lives
      with equally-sized tots
      in their private chamber.

    1. Silent sentries makes me think of
      what yer' e-z-reader history books
      sometimes call the SILENT CENTURY
      the hundred years before those things
      called human beings arrived
      on Planet Earth.

    1. The roaring began when the first humans
      impersonated the sounds of the dinosaurs.

    3. The problem with the warning snarls ...
      we don't always recognize them as warnings
