I saw this on the bathroom wall at the banana bar:

Roses is red
Naners is yellow
Andre is sweet and
A good lookin fellow

I found it odd to see this on the bathroom wall. If it had been inside the bathroom, perhaps not as odd, but it was on the outside of the wall, and therefor outside the bar as well. It was deeply carved into the siding and looked to be done with great care.

I wondered who would leave such a message. But, as I pondered this I also noticed a trail of peanuts on the ground. I followed them around the corner and realized they had taken me to the old shed beside the bar. The peanut trail went up to the door, and I assume beyond into the shed.

I stopped before I reached the door, read the sign hanging from a nail, and then returned to the bar. What was the sign?

"Happy Valentine's Day Andre"

I reckon someone is planning a nice surprise for our favorite hairy guy tomorrow.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
