Day 122: "Love to eat them mousies! Mousies what I love to eat. Bite they little heads off, Nibble on they tiny feet!" The artwork was one of Kliban's stylized striped cats playing a banjo, if memory serves me correctly (it didn't...it was a guitar), and the creator's whimsical words have stood the test of time in my memory. They were on a checkbook cover I owned some 30-35 years ago, and sprang back into mind as soon as I opened the box today. It came from one of my best friends who just happens to go by the nickname Mousie. Trust me, I will have no compunctions whatsoever about biting they little heads off, but I think the tails (satin cord) are a bit thick to use as dental floss after.
