Festival of Tadpoles

What creature is more appropriate to the Springtide season than the tadpole? A sign of new life, a graceful vegetarian, and with a hope one day of transformation to its full glory. The 2nd Tuesday after the first Sunday after the Spring Equinox will henceforth always be the Festival of Tadpoles.

Today's program:

8 am - Wriggling about

10 am - Wandering aimlessly in the Weeds

12 noon - Channeling the Spirit of the Tadpoles (at the pond)

2 pm - Forseeing a Froggy Future (spiritual envisioning and aspiration in an aquatic environment)

4 pm - Batrachian Browsings (in the Tea Room)

6 pm - Sponsored Swim (Dunstable Leisure Centre)

8 pm - Closing hymn - "If I were a tadpole" (adapted from "If I were a butterfly", and yet somehow even more patronising)

  1. Bravo. Here in the wilds of Maine, we are honoring NEWT-on's laws of, er, depravity. Aye, tis the season for the Solemn Procession to Guide and Guard Salamanders in Search of Love.
