Loops are Handles (and sometimes breakfast)

Gold loop earrings became my public trademark years ago. This was not intentional but came out of limited time, budget and imagination.

One may think loops are loops. Lose one, save the single to use again when one is lost from the replacement pair. Wrong. No 3 or 4 loops are the same.

Loops can’t be disabled. They last forever. Wrong. That is because loops are sometimes puppy breakfast and always good handles.

Loops do sometimes serve the purpose of better health for puppies because of their resemblance to Ascaris. Clue: Loops do not normally wiggle.

Loops are handles. Alpha Cat in charge of scheduling need only catch a loop with claw and give a quick yank to start the day.



Flinging loop into a dark corner, perhaps a shoe or bookcase, Alpha Cat may then proceed to morning nap untroubled by worries the house will lie quiet beyond first light.

Thus it shall always be that gold loop earrings while my trademark in public, chains and mounds of unmatched singles shall ever bedeck my dresser.
