Don’t You Hear Those Bells a Ringing?

Today, I woke up at 4 a.m. It’s getting earlier every day. Yes, it is. I think it was the wind chimes that did it. The wind has really picked up and it’s throwing them violently around, so that they are not only ringing, they’re banging against the porch rails, keeping beat with the chiming. Sort of like a crazed drummer. I know a few of those, but I digress. I started singing that old hymn, “When They Ring Those Golden Bells For You and Me”. My dad wanted that played at his funeral and we tried to arrange that, but it was sort of a fiasco. Isn’t that how it always is with funeral music? They couldn’t get the recording to play, so one of the funeral guys just stood up and sang it acapella. That might have been okay, but he had a terrible singing voice. Yep. But, we all sang along to the chorus and did our best to drown him out. Anyways, the chimes weren’t cooperating with my attempt to go back to sleep. Violent winds, tornadoes, pandemics. What’s the world coming to? If you were the suspicious type, you might be somewhat alarmed by all of these developments. I’m somewhat alarmed. Yep. I just got a request to draw a tiger-themed cartoon. That’s a new one. I’ve drawn a leopard and a lion, but not a tiger. I’m gonna give it a shot. I’ll proclaim it’s the cutest tiger ever, but my art teacher will disagree. Someone commented on one of my cartoons on instagram, pronouncing it “dope”. I like this. I’m assuming this person is not in my age group, lol. Sometimes, the comments make my day. So far, I’ve only gotten one complaint and it was about a crow not wearing it’s mask properly. I was just happy they recognized that it was a crow. Yep. So, on to tigers now. You people stay healthy. Don’t be like the crow. If you wear a mask, put it on properly! Chime, chime, bang bang……reminds me of Chitty, chitty bang bang. You people are too young to remember that. Yep.
