It was when taking my every-morning-walk that I saw2
a weird, tiny, green, creature wearing a cucumber suit.3
It was funny the way he walked; swaying that part of his body4
where longer arms normally would be attached.5
That sway made his body go from left to right to left6
in a weird movement.7
Was he drunk? I wondered what was in that orange can, which he held in his very tiny hand. The letters M and X were all that could be spotted.8
On the other side of the street, a commotion caught my attention.9
A man waving his arms in crazy and disjointed moves, screamed in10
a loud voice, half incomprehensible words about a purple cow.11
If I understood right what he was saying, he missed his cow and couldn't find it anywhere. Was it true or was he just another lunatic?12
I turned my eyes back to the cucumber outfit, but he was gone. The orange can he left on a bench, curious I went over to see what that M and X can was.13
MOXIE!!!14
So that is what a MOXIE can looks like - I almost shouted those words. 15
I picked it up and sipped from the last drops left in that can.16
Oh man! I must have more of that!17
Once more, my attention got distracted by something in the sky; it was a flying purple cow!18
I knew that pigs could fly, that day I found out that purple cows could too!19
Just a few distractions on my daily walk. 20
The only really interesting point was the MOXIE can. 21
The rest was all part of a mere routine.22

purple cows may fly and
cucumbers walk strangely,
drinkin even a sip of moxie

I know that they MUST have lavvatrees in Phoenix coz often when Catz and I are chatting on Yahoo, she'll say "I gotta go!"
and where else would she be going?
BTW I always eat standing up. It helps digestion and it's easier to tread what you spill into the floor. -
I don't count no mangy, scraggily bushes. Those aren't trees! I found out about that squating thing too late. I ate sitting up for a month
-
Aaawww! I wanted to enter MOXIE MUMMIES in this contest but there wasn't enough room. BTW they do have lavvatrees in Phoenix but you have to get rid of the cactus b4 you squat!

He just doesn't want to admit, but he does see purple cows and even purple horses (that is a secret, shhh). That happens after his daily doses of MOxie
-
You live in Phoenix. I spent a day there. Man you guys have big cities and then for miles and miles you have nothing in between them but cactus. It was my weirdest experience ever. You have no trees! lol
-
Lol... funny, funny.... I think Yem needs to look really good and try to see those purple cows.. they're there, Yem... honest... I see them every day around Phoenix
A very cute story, Gaze
Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest

Let me think about................................................................... ........................................................................ .............................................
Your kiss tastes better. I choose for a kiss
-
I'll believe your story when Purple coews fly!
As I've mentioned more than once: This is eerily Yemish and deserves a high place in that world of odd, Moxie-induced stories!
You deserve a trophy...or a kiss...I bet you'd take the trophy, lol.
