I must tell you, dear reader, that I cannot hear the words of the title of this post without hearing them sung to the tune of that maddeningly endearing peanut-butter-jelly-time banana.
Can't you hear it also?
Puppet karaoke time, puppet karaoke time!
Puppet karaoke, puppet karaoke, puppet karaoke with a baseball bat!
Dear reader, we were in Philadelphia yesterday to see the King Tut exhibit at the Franklin Institute. I learned of the existence of puppet karaoke when reading the Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer this weekend.
It is most disappointing that one may only enjoy puppet karaoke on Thursday nights. You know me, dear reader: I would have been there with the proverbial bells on my toes (although not as an Oobi-style puppet: modesty forbids, for the point is for the puppet to do the work, yes?)!

And if the possibility exists that you want to view the dear banana:

I have been marveling at the quality of your postings on this blog. You may believe that writing is not a strong suit of yours, but I would beg to differ. Your writing reveals wisdom, insight, and obvious skill. It possesses a lyrical quality that I find enjoyable to read. Keep doing what you're doing, because it works.
I agree with neckties. Beautiful writing...and now...puppets too!! Don't tell anyone, but I'm going to "try this at home"!!
Dear Lots Of,
Thank you for your generousity. I am glad to know that this little exercise of mine is working, and that there are so many excellent people helping me along the way.
Dear Min,
Thank you as well for your kind words, and for your help---just by virtue of your reading---keeping me on track.
I'm glad to see you are among the ranks of those who find the idea of puppet karaoke a great one---and see, I've not yet tried it at home!
I hear the "Safety Dance!"
Oh, I'm so relieved. I thought those voices were in my head. Now, I know the puppets in the guests room are singing karaoke. Whew!
