Artist rendering of the mythical Snuggly Cactus from the fabled Friendly Desert. (Drawing: PaC)

The Sun is hot
the snow is cold
babies are young
fossils are old.
The water is wet
there’s no I in team
no snuggly cactus
no sad ice cream.
There’s no awesome hiccups
no soothing snores
no turning five
without being four.
