Maxamillian

Maxamillian sells old used cars.
In his spare time he loves cigar bars.
That he is cliché does not matter.
But his polyester shirt is sadder.

My pal Max is 5.25" to the top of his head and 6" to the top of his handle. He's the first to insist on a "SEE gar" rather than a "Butt" for his smoke break. I'm sure it's a cheap cigar at that.

You Did WHAT?

I'm not so sure just what I did, but this fella hasn't stopped being shocked since the day he emerged from the kiln. I can't wait for him to share a little of that surprise.

He's 4.25" tall and 5" to the top of his handle.

Trixie

Trixie is very precocious
And her posture is atrocious.
Now her heavy favourite big books
Straighten her back and improve her looks.

Trixie is 6" to the top of her head and her books bring her up to 9" straight and tall wonderful posture!

Fun story about Trixie - Mum says that Trixie recalled for her grade three classes --- all the children were set to walking around their classroom daily with their texts on their heads to make sure they stood up straight. Trixie is pleased to know she's taking after such a wonderful woman!

And guess what else! Dad's favourite dog's name was Trixie - Trixie is running two for two - not bad.

And I know now why she's always smiling - Trixie has been adopted by Mum and Dad!

Bruce

No rest – no excuse – I must attend.
Important yes, but WHEN will it end?

To complete before I’m too sleepy!

Bruce is 5.25 inches until his comb over is attached the he's 6.75 inches tall.

Jason

Jason is a pirate on the sea;
Mostly in the crow’s nest he will be.
He has to fight scurvy all the time,
And he does that by sucking on a lime.

Jason is 5.75 inches tall (6" including his handle.)

The Smoking Club Outside the Mischief Factory

The boys pose for a group photo while on break outside of the Mischief Factory. They delight in torment!

His horns may be small,
But his delight abounds:
When Joseph undertakes mischief,
He astounds!

Jack

It’s high time for Jack to quit smoking.
The cost is too high, he’s not joking.
So he sucks on peppermint candy:
Fits in pockets and cheap – how handy!

Snap

It was just a little squabble,
Over a shiny little bauble,
And though Snap broke a horn when thus lured,
The wee bauble was not secured.

Snap is 4.5 inches to the top of his head and 5.5 inches to the top of his tail loop.

For a nasty little joke.

Joe, the Chef

Joe, a chef at Buffet Chinese,
Knows not Szechwan from Cantonese.
But it’s no matter, no not a tick,
These customers can’t use a chop stick.
