St. Sukie’s Strange Garden of Woodland Creatures I woke up early this morning and went for a swim in the pool at the El Cheeso Motel in Palm Springs. I swam a couple of laps, then I heard, “Psst! Psst!” I turned and there was a tiny dolphin, “St. Sukie,” she said, “We need your help ... follow me.” The dolphin disappeared under the water and I followed, down, down, down, past a snoozing shark, two swordfish fencing on bicycles, three barracudas knitting a long scarf, then through a long tunnel into a cave. I climbed out of the water and there were two lobsters sat at a table playing Scrabble. “Ah! St. Sukie, you came, we have a little problem here that you may be able to help us with.” The other lobster pointed to the Scrabble board. “Is that a word?” “Igglesdepop? What does it mean?” I asked. “It’s what happens when you accidentally eat soap after you’ve poked it with a spoon,” said the first lobster. “Oh that’s definitely a word,” I said. Then I dived into the water, followed the dolphin past the three barracudas knitting a long scarf, two swordfish fencing on bicycles, the snoozing shark, back into the swimming pool at the El Cheeso Motel in Palm Springs. Now where’s my coffee?
