Don't Ask


I really fell in love with this tile right away. The creator of it just got a contract to do the murals at the up and coming Union Plaza Park. Congratulations Su! I keep this next to the tv so I can look at it everyday. Then my husband commented on a song it reminded him of by Michelle Shocked. Here goes.....................................................................Don't Ask.................................................

Did I ever tell you about the time I was changed into a rabbit? That's right, I was. Changed into a rabbit by the midnight owl. That's right, the midnight owl. You don't believe me? Ask the red fox. He saw it. Shook him so bad he ran tucky tail, didn't even chase me that night. And you know he likes to chase rabbit. How I come to be there? That's another story. I was trying to get home, walking the flattire road, when the midnight owl swoops on my shoulder, wings flapping in my ear. I jump right out of my skin. I think that's how he did it. I jumped right out of my skin. Rabbit looking for a place to hide, he jumped right in.

And that is how I found the midnight owl who...who...who..sleeps in the beetleberry tree. I was just a little rabbit, but he woke with such a start that he jumped right out of his skin. And that is how I did, see. I jumped right in. I flew to the moon where I found the red fox and I can tell you he was sure surprised to see the likes of me. He winks and chases me once around the moon for old time's sake. And then I drop him off at six o'clock and he and I agree we would get our story straight. We got our story straight and I'm sticking to it now. I was changed into a rabbit, but please don't ask me how.
