Ruby Finds Her Tusks

[ehowton]

Ruby was the only walrus pup on the ice shelf who didn't have her tusks.

Poor, poor, Ruby!

"But I want to have pretty tusks." Ruby told her mama. "All the other walrus pups have theirs." And Ruby's mama always said the same thing to her, in a song:

"One ^day you'll _be blubbery ^and fat, _with long ^strong tusks _for grousing ^at this _and that."

But poor Ruby thought her mama was a moron.

And so it was that Ruby went philandering around the ice shelf trying to fill the void in her walrus heart.

The end.

Thanks dude. I'm just dying over here. I must've read this two dozen times at work today. I even pointed it out to my mother.

It is a 5 star classic!

Really? That good? I haven't labeled it as such. But thanks for the compliment.

Maybe you need a 5 star comedy section as to distinguish it from your more serious works. This way you needn't soil or cheapen your scholarly 5 star rating system already in place.

All three of them? (http://ehowton.livejournal.com/tag/five-star+post) I think there's a little wiggle room for definition at this point.
