Who's there?
Oppo.
Oppo who?
Opportunity.
Oh.
...but I thought you don't knock twice.
I do. I just don't knock on*...
As I said...I'm here all weak. Not a typo....
There is a point to this post...and I'm pointing to another.
Orblers and Orblees, please read this post.

It's lovely to see your comments section open again.
Pumpkin Island can be a very lonely place. (for non-IT savvy women without wireless laptops). Thank God for succesful, age-challenged female writers like my good self, Germaine Greer and Colleen McCullough, renegade Catholic priests, and books like the Thorn Birds which allows old biddies like myself to escape from the digital nightmare of Sydney with all it's pretentious virtual art galleries, and from DEXHs (downtrodden ex-housewife sydrome) of the single parent, and escape to and idyllic location where the only male that shits upon me is a Shag and the odd endangered pelican.
The reason I had to respond to this post is, the Knock-Knock Bird (peculiar to Pumpkin Island) is my alarm clock. Funny looking little fellow he is. And very much on the endangered species list (due to the onset of feminsim, peculairly enough, but that's nature for you). But as regular as clockwork.
(If you have a copy of the Samoan Guide to Rugby, as you undoubtedly will, you will find on page 13 that the original captain of the Samoan rugby team used to train for future World Cups as far back as 40 million years ago by swimming between Samoa and the Great Barrier Reef before breakfast, and is quoted as saying, "After being attacked by a Knock Knock Bird on Pumpkin Island (which not only looked like a giant exploding mushroom but had the potential to do more damage than the types of atomic bombs they will invent in the future [he was a prophet, okay?]) I realised, Rugby was a game for men.
My only concern about this post is this. What if Optomistic Oppotunism [Opto Oppo] knocks on your virtual door? Net stalkers are much more dangerous than Knock-Knock Birds or Kiwis.
Ann.

It's good to see you...but I'm not 'here' for long. I opened the comments section because of a 'special request' and because I wanted to highlight that very worthy post that is the point of this post.
..and yes I did see that you had already given your full support to that post and its message.
Thank you for lending me your points too because that helped considerably in highlighting JZ's post.
I will be back for good soon...
much pyaar and I hope you are well LL...

It's much better than the first 'knock knock' joke I ever heard;
Knock knock
Who's there?
Cinderella
Cinderella the princess?
No. Cinderella the photographer.
...some day my prints will come...
It's always good to see you hon but as I explained to LL, I'm not here for long...but I'm with you in spirit...and 'back of house' communication...
Hope you're well...'see' you soon...
hugs...Dusk

I'm sorry I've responded to your comment out of order but...I seriously can't respond without choking with laughter.
Not that I haven't taken your comment seriously of course...the Knock Knock Bird is no laughing matter.
Please bear with me, I will give your comment the proper consideration and response in due time. I need to look for my copy of the Samoan Guide to Rugby first...
