Miss Tickle

Skaterina has entered a Neutral Zone

where she doesnt care

and

nothing matters

not that she SAYS she doesnt care

or SAYS that nothing matters

she really and truly doesnt care

and

the only thing that matters is that

Nothing Matters

gosh

this zone sure feels funny

which must mean that she does care

and something does matter

oh

gosh

mrsfoley steps in

it's about food, isnt it, child ?

yes yes it is about food

Skaterina cries

i want to salivate because i am hungry

not just to produce drool !

i want to jump up and down and wag my head

like Juanita does when she is hungry and wants food

and comes to the Pet Cafe for her grub

i want to chomp on something

gulp something

shovel it down

like a couple of my friends seem to do

as if they havent eaten in a week

i want to forget about chewing and how nothing tastes  "good"

i want to eat as if want to live

instead of succumb and die

okay, says mrsfoley

Caterina is about to prepare one of your favorite breakfasts

??

a cheese and spinach omelette

oh ?

yes, she recalls the failure of the Boomerang omelette

this one will be a success

the spinach is fresh from Hole Farms

the cheese is a rarity in this punk town : Gruyere

the egg is ONE BIG EGG

locally laid

Caterina stalls

i dont remember

what do i start with ?

the spinach or the egg ?

or how about get out the coddle cups

turn one of those boiled potatoes into a mash

coddle the yolk on a bed of mash on a nest of spinach

GET ON WITH THE OMELETTE

mrsfoley jumps up and down and wags her head

Darling Daughter phones does Skaterina want some suji ?

GET INTO THAT KITCHEN AND RATTLE THOSE POTS AND PANS

ok ok
