Prejudices

Beet Girl believes.
In kazoos.
In love.
In moss and clover.
In cussing, and if necessary
Beet Girl will not shy from socking a bad guy
in the eye. Fie Fi.
Fo Fum.

Icarus and the Like

The following question has been raised: Does Beet Girl fly?

She has flown on airplanes, obviously, but this, of course, is not the kind of flying to which, to whit, our questioner is questioning. Therefore said question remains, as yet, unanswered. Can Beet Girl take flight?

She has been seen jumping up from the ground into the air, making her own sound effects as she leaps, red cape aloft behind her, as if buoyed by an air current. However Beet Girl has never been observed actually flying in mid-air or landing, as have, for example, Peter Pan, Super Man, Super Grover (see previous posting) Icarus and his Dad to name but a few.

That is all for now.
Except that Beet G. wants it publicly stated that the rumors are true:

While she is not in any way against the Dalai Lama or Maya Angelou neither is she a fan of either of the aforementioned, oft-beloved, public figures. In fact, she might, depending on the time of day, and/or her mood, go so far as to say that they bug her. Bzzzzzzz.

Now, grow all my little beets, grow! Spring has sprung in New England, the grass has riz.

Rock On, Rock Out,
and in the words of Anatole Broyard from one of his essays in Intoxicated By My Illness(1990) "For godsakes cling to your prejudices!"

PS-Prejudices are not to be confused with bigotries or intolerance by the by.
