Blue Monday: Little Roadie

Good Morning and welcome! Happy Blue Monday to everyone! Speaking of which, very recently I was driving down the road with Mr. Magpie, minding our own business, when suddenly we spotted: something shiny, something new, something pretty, something B-L-U-E!

Screeeeeeeeeeeech! The tires ground to a halt as I leapt from our one horse open sleigh [aka the MagpieMobile] quicker than you can say, "Blue Scooter!" For indeed it was a blue scooter, the very blue scooter pictured here...

Then I spotted something else: something little, something red, something stringy, made of thread. "Hey, wait a minute... it couldn't be! Annie! Is that YOU?"



And indeed it was. Annie was there in all of her glory, admiring her red hair in the motorcycle's shiny chrome!



And just as I got her name out of my mouth, Mr. Grump [who shall remain headless] appeared. He was so dazzled by Annie's beauty that he didn't watch what he was doing, and with one jerk of his chain, pulled all the scooters [except Annie's] over!



"Pssssssssst, Annie! This way! Hurry! Quick!"



I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the scooters on the ground, but we were back in the MagpieMobile [it morphed from a sleigh back into a getaway car] before Mr. Grump could catch us. Annie drove as Mr. Magpie and I crouched on the floor of the backseat...



More about that later. ;-)
