Drabble by Kevin Fagan for January 26, 2022

Bob is a rare South-American parrot?

“If the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, why is a mouse when it spins?”

Dang! Thats one smart bird.

Bob may not make that many appearances, but he does make them memorable…

Bob, the philosopher, is not only rare — he is wise. For example, he knows that the chicken crossed the road for some fowl reason. Bob sees the world not as it is — but as it ought to be. We can all benefit from the pearls of wisdom that Bob occasionally drops before us.

What the what? …I didn’t understand a bit of this.

We have a bunch of ducks, they just swim around. I need at least one with Bob’s insight.

He’s right about the donuts. The office workers where I worked got a box of donuts every Thursday. If there were any leftovers, they put them in the break room for the second shift hourly workers. Every Thursday at break time, there was a mad rush to get those donuts.

I’ve never seen a duck on a perch.

We’ll take your opinion into consideration.

Bob is learning to blend in with the Drabble family. Thinking like the collective.

Unfortunately, Bob is like a lot of people. They say they’ll consider other opinions, but they don’t. In their mind if you disagree with them you must be wrong. My opinion is that if you don’t agree with me it’s because you haven’t been paying attention to what I was saying.
