Not only did I have fun with this one, our two daughters who were home for Easter jumped in with their versions.


The town of Peacock holds an annual Cymbals Marching Band Parade and Easter Egg Hunt. Details were on the front page of the weekly online newsletter. Unfortunately, the accompanying photograph had mistakenly been replaced by the pharmacy’s toothpaste advertisement. (AER)


My pet peacock is a talented bird. The town newsletter showcased her talents the other day. She plays the cymbals in a marching band. At the end of the day, she brushes her teeth with a crushed seed toothpaste. (DER)


I received a newsletter today about a peacock who plays the cymbals in a band. The band calls themselves Toothpaste Toothbrush Warriors because none of its members have any teeth. The band’s slogan is Brush ‘Em or Loose ‘Em. (TCS)
