@mrrustymonkey: * suddenly, an old monkey doll pops his head into the #TemporalTues twitterverse & :-) *

@mrrustymonkey: * he's wearing a red bow tie & an old straw hat. he dances, in soft-shoe, onto the #TemporalTues stage *

@mrrustymonkey: * he holds a candy cane in one hand & drags an old #TemporalTues cardboard box behind him with the other *

@mrrustymonkey: * he opens the box, hops in, & then closes his eyes. this is his seat on the #TemporalTues time machine *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, I'm still sitting in a box... but I'm OK? Yes, I'll be fine? It's 1969.

@mrrustymonkey: It's dark #TemporalTues. I wonder what's happening out there? I can hear all kinds of sounds & it doesn't seem fair…

@mrrustymonkey: ...to be packed in this box #TemporalTues, when I want some cuddles & hugs. Instead, I fear the bite of those awful moth bugs!

@mrrustymonkey: What year is it #TemporalTues, did they forget about me? There's still plenty of life left in this monkey, you see!

@mrrustymonkey: Their world is changing #TemporalTues, but mine stands still while I wait. Someday, this box will open…yes, that will be great!

@mrrustymonkey: And I'll pop out of here #TemporalTues, a Jack in box grinning surprise! Will they notice that I'm missing one of my eyes?

@mrrustymonkey: Do I still look good enough #TemporalTues? Oh, go away awful bugs! You see, a moth eaten stuffed animal never gets any hugs.

@mrrustymonkey: * he closes his #TemporalTues eyes again & imagines the vivid, rainbow colors of a carnival ferris wheel… *

@mrrustymonkey: * … his #TemporalTues ears can almost hear the steam whistle, screamer strains of a circus calliope. he smiles. *

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, while I wait in this box, I might as well sing…. View video

@mrrustymonkey: * he tips his little #TemporalTues straw hat to @WendellHowe & sits there, bouncing around the years with his friend *

@mrrustymonkey: * they talk about who knows what ? & then he scratches his #TemporalTues head, trying hard to remember a once familiar tune *

@mrrustymonkey: * one minute they were there, & the next minute, it'd be 40 years later. he reaches up & puts a coin into the #TemporalTues jukebox & ;-) *

@mrrustymonkey: * Oh #TemporalTues time machine, for a very special friend, will you please sing… View video

@Wendell_A_Howe: @mrrustymonkey Yes, there are days I feel I spend my life bouncing about time like Veronica. *Tips top hat* #TemporalTues

@thisbear: Hurrah! RT @mrrustymonkey: * he holds a candy cane in one hand & drags an old #TemporalTues cardboard box behind him with the other *

@marleyterrier: @mrrustymonkey ello for you Rusty. Long time no see *waves to pal as he flies off on flyin masheen* #TemporalTues

136th Temporal Tuesday - 7 February

mrrustymonkey: * a bedside phone rings, somewhere in the #TemporalTues twitterverse & a monkey doll suddenly jolts to attention *

@mrrustymonkey: * the #TemporalTues clock says 5:55 am. but what day is it? he turns on the light & sits quietly, knowing what has happened *

@mrrustymonkey: * whatever they're saying on the other end of the #TemporalTues phone doesn't register. he feels hollow & speechless *

@mrrustymonkey: * he doesn't want to be a part of "right now". indeed any #TemporalTues yesterday is a much better choice. he closes his eyes *

@mrrustymonkey: Today on this #TemporalTues, I can't think of the right thing to say. And It just keeps on being today.

@mrrustymonkey: So help me go back #TemporalTues to a sunnier time - when she was young & the world was much more refined.

@mrrustymonkey: I see her now #TemporalTues, wearing her pink Sunday best. Grandaddy "G" sits beside her & takes his first test.

@mrrustymonkey: He'll ask her name #TemporalTues, & with a smile on her face, she'll open her hymnal & point to... "Amazing Grace."

@mrrustymonkey: That's how it began #TemporalTues, in that time from their past. I wish I could make this scene last & last.

@mrrustymonkey: It's all safe here #TemporalTues, this "time out" from our sorrow. Don't worry, I'll be back here again tomorrow.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, now I'm skipping ahead to Christmas 2011. It was the last time we saw her. Today, she's an angel in heaven.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, I wish I could see her & hug her & kiss her sweet face. I will miss you my "GaGa". I will miss you Miss Grace.

@mrrustymonkey: #TemporalTues, she said, " Now y'all be good to one another & always love one another." Yes Maam. Piece of cake.

@mrrustymonkey: Oh #TemporalTues time machine, the little town of Newton will gather to sing... Amazing Grace
