Smiles

Cheshire Cat
 “For one of your Smiles

I would walk a country mile”

Said Cheshire Cat 

To the pursuing Red Queen

“I’ll not give you that!

Smiles is the longest word!”

The Red Queen said.

“Then I’ll give you mine instead”

Chershire, vanishing, said.

Riddle: 

What is the longest word in the dictionary? 

“Smiles” because there is a mile between each ‘s’

Searching in the night

Morning evidence

Reveals his prints in the snow

Watercolor paints his image

Painting created by me from actual photo of squirrel’s hind footprint. Squirrel visited my patio in the night and left his tracks in the snow. I took a picture of the tracks to look up what they were. Then I also happened to see “Squirrel Footprint Art” on Pinterest which inspired me to create this painting.😊
