For she’d rather stay a little digger,
But she couldn’t if she got bigger,
For if she got much too fat,
Her tunnels would end up housing bats!
We all know guano isn’t a pleasure,
But the stench would guard your treasure,
I’ve also a limerick guys,
but to hide from your innocent eyes,
the terrible spoiler,
from by minds dark back boiler,
I’ve gone and posted it in disguise!
(the limerick is on page 251, after all the events described in the limerick have already occurred, so I can’t be accuse of spoilers. Go and check it out. Possibly the most poetic 35 minutes work of my life. Not bad for a 2 am creative burst!)
And I’m immediately flashing to a scene from Labyrinth, where Jennifer Connelly’s character similarly marks the floorstones of the titular maze. And as soon as she walks out of sight, a little goblin-thing comes up, cusses after her… and flips the stone.
Oh, Digger. She knows how to prioritize! I’d follow her anywhere.
Indeed. A good, sensible companion.
For some reason I just thought of hobbits…
Digger has reminded me of hobbits (of the most sensible sort, generally) on many occasions.
🙂
Trawling the archives is neat. It’s like walking through a cavern where past explorers have scrawled on the walls as they went.
Yeah, scrawled little arrows in different coloured chalk….
… and maybe the occasional suggestive limerick, as well …
😉
There was a young wombat hight Digger,
Who never once wished she was bigger,
Her tunnels were convoluted,
For she’d rather stay a little digger,
But she couldn’t if she got bigger,
For if she got much too fat,
Her tunnels would end up housing bats!
We all know guano isn’t a pleasure,
But the stench would guard your treasure,
She went for a walk
With a fistful of chalk,
And a kid that looked like a dork…
Hey, it rimed
And balked at a wall with a fissure.
To find of this tunnel, it measure.
And at the darkness she didnt balk,
And kept her stoic composure.
(I love you people. Keep the ryme rolling!)
for she was only seeking for closure,
to this journey which seems,
to end only in pipe dreams,
but to explore a darkness so clean
and to keep her mind from going mean
she sat down and devoured a meal

Wasn’t there a huge thing about how you shouldn’t vandalize caves (unless absolutely necessary)? Or was that later on in the archive?

I love that movie, Mental Mouse! And yes, I too was immediately reminded of that scene by Diggers arrow markings. ⬆↗↩⬇↙⬅↖⤴😜
