Three New Cirtters!

We've been so focused on getting ready for Detcon and recovering from Eric's injury, that I didn't see these two coming until I was furiously going at notecards with a sharpie. and so...

Sparkle

Sparkle lives in the far right cupboard
She's keeper of the tea
So when the kettle's boiling
You know just where she'll be

Never ask what's in your cup
If you're sick or feeling down
just know that once you finish it
you're sure to come around

For she always brews the tea you need
Black, Green, Sweet, or spice
So no matter which tea you choose
You'll never get the same once twice!

Orpheus

In the attic you'll find Orpheus
the oldest of our band
He's keeper of the stories
and the songs of the clan

Keep an eye to the oak out front
For a squirrel of purest white
He runs errands for Orpheus
But no one knows quite why!

At midnight you may hear a voice
Like dust on a gravel road
You may hear your name in a song
You're not sure how you know

This last one attacked me at work. I was knee-deep in a spreadsheet when WHAM! Lightning ax and cackle of DOOM...

Fauna

Little Fauna lives for storms
Be they snow or rain
Her axe always keeps her safe
When lightning comes to play

She spins around like a carousel
To a rhythm all her own
Her axe is sharp and jagged
And older than she knows

Static follows her everywhere
As she runs about the house
But her aim is true when scaring off
Every bug and mouse
