Simply Six Minutes Challenge
“Oh Mickey, you’re so fine
You’re so fine you blow my mind,
Hey Mickey, hey Mickey”
Mickey just loved when Mackey sang this song to him. No other guy in the burrow had such a thoughtful girlfriend, and she had a great singing voice too! It was their anniversary tonight and they just settled back to enjoy each other and a nice meal of pumpkin seeds.

Well Tom, the time is drawing close
This year it’s our turn to be the roasts
I admit it’s been fun here, hanging out
Especially when the farmers start to spout
“It’s spring” and love is in the air
But think about it, is it really fair
That only guys are chosen then?
What happens to all those turkey hens?
It’s actually obscene, a brothel in pens!
Well here they come, brandishing those axes
I bet they’re a business expense on their taxes!
It’s been nice while it lasted, see you soon
Dressed as our best in the dining room.

We have it all wrong
We try. We all try to wake up bright and bushy tailed at five in the morning—even though it’s pitch outside and there’s no sunshine bleeding through the drapes to wake us naturally. We still wake at the pre-time-change hour, each cursing the lack of daylight, each checking the frosty temperature at that ungodly hour with the coming cold season here in the northern hemisphere.
In the early evening, activity stops and silence abounds, sometimes broken by a remote changing a channel or a laugh from some comedy routine, but for the most part, all is quiet on the northern front, around five pm. We could of course go to bed earlier than our usual routine, then I suppose waking up in the dark we might be fully awake. My own personal experience is no matter what time I try to go to sleep, I invariably wake between three and five.
We humans have it all wrong. We need to hibernate as animals do. That way when the sun does start to wake us again, we are b and b with them!

(Bright-eyed supposedly comes from the late 1500s, while bushy-tailed is said to have hailed from 1865-1870, though no direct source is clear for either of them. They were seen together for the first time in talking about a squirrel, which did, in fact, have bright eyes and bushy tail.)
(The expression ‘pitch dark’ derived. as a reference to things which were. as dark (or black) as pitch (that is, tar). Pitch is the sticky, resinous, black or dark brown substance that is obtained as a residue from the distillation of wood tar or turpentine.)
