Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 10, 2021

Preferably, a day that I was going to mostly spend inside anyway.

And Veruca Salt upon reading this demands to have her own Unicorn:-D.

Or the rainclouds really don’t like that song as seen in an episode of Dora the explorer.

Does it still work when riding on Marigold’s spider-sneezing sister?

I long ago figured out that you don’t want to put off rain indefinitely. Because drought (or because eventually, it’ll just decide to all show up at once).

I like the Camelot system better:

The rain may never fall ’til after sundown

By eight, the morning fog must disappear

In short, there’s simply not

A more congenial spot

For happily-ever-aftering than here

In Camelot

Pretty handy, marigold!

Sniff, sniff!! I smell wet unicorn!

If this power of Unicorns becomes widely known, they will not be safe in California.

Or if you are Linus:

Perhaps Phoebe could try to adapt that for something else that she wished wasn’t there. “School, school, go away…” or “Piano, piano, go away…”

Reminds me of this comic:

This is a drought. Send more rain!

“Rain, rain, go away. Evaporate and re-condense, combining with vapor molecules and cumulonimbus clouds to return in a low-pressure weather front on a more appropriate occasion, hey hey.”

Really? Because I’m pretty sure Phoebe’s said that exact same thing while riding on Marigold’s back before, and nothing happened.

Amusingly, it has been a fairly rainy weekend where I am, but I’m okay with that—always liked a good rain storm.

Better watch those old expressions while riding on Marigold, Phoebe. The consequences could be… annoying.

Then you have to wonder who get’s the rain? The magick on Bewitched worked that way.

i like it when it is raining all around me but there is a hole in the clouds over my head and all my stuff. i wonder if there is a convenient incantation for that…?

(considering how little rainfall there has been around here, in the past year, i would feel bad about wishing for it to go away altogether)
