Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for December 10, 2011

Leaf the poor guy alone, his fur isn’t murder…

That is because he is modest.

Thear wash while wareing.

They shouldn’t needle him. He’s probably pining for the northern forests — wooden yew be?

Evergreens do shed their needles just not all at one time.

GoodQuestion — I don’t think she’s really a beech — just ignorant.

She grew up in the bush, far from any elders.

To be really cruel goes against her grain — her heartwood break if he cried.

I hope she turns over a new leaf.

Yatman — groan on!

And Eldo — Huh? Is his name Connie Fur?

STOP IT!! YOU WIN !!………I THINK I’M IN LOVE.!

Also, remember the old Connie Mack stadium in Philly?

Cornelius McGillicuddy, Sr. Heck, I’d go by Connie Mack, too!
