    this is an excerpt of a poem by Jack Prelutsky
    He was vastly more accomplished
    then the billions of his kin,
    he performed a brief sonata
    on a tiny violin,
    but he squealed and promptly vanished
    at the entrance of my cat,
    for despite his erudition
    he was nothing but a rat.

  • Ellen replied

    Thank you so much for this poem!

    I assume it’s a Stradivarius, Ellen !! If he can fit it into his repertoire, I’d like him to play the Second Waltz by Shostakovich !!

    I really love this picture, Moppy is so cute. In fact this made me want to sign up to redbubble just so I could comment! I wonder, would it be alright to use this as an userpic for my LJ account? Do you ship postcards to the UK? Are you going to take a picture of him in a little santa hat for Christmas?

  • Ellen replied

    Thank you very much!
    Thats very kind of you to sign up here just to comment!
    What is LJaccount?
    Its o.k. by me, you can use it as a userpic.
    The cards were made by redbubble. So, I normally dont ship them to the UK. People who want my cards, buy them from Redbubble.
    Allthough there is an officially Greeting-card, made by a publisher called Avanti, and they are for sale also in the UK.
    Hope this helps, Ellen.
