Talking heads
(or TP for short... which you know what we use that for)
Talking heads
riding roughshod
up down bumpy roads
walking bed of nails
talking points
Left and Right
touch a pinched nerve
jump down turn around
flip flop swerve
pin heads
tongues wagging
waiting to unfurl
their point
and they do have one

Heres my TEXTURE photograph of a really cool, pointy flower in Maui, HI... click on the photograph to look at those tongues waiting to unfurl.... like party favors just waiting to make a noise!
