The most magic party hat was so magic that it made everyone wink. Before long, everything in the town was blinking too. It seemed that everybody had an outbreak of the blinks. In fact, there was so much blinking going on that no - one hardly could see a thing. There were eyelashes fluttering in the bank - and even at the zoo - everybody was blinking this and blinking that - blinking here and blinking there, too. There were blinking rats and blinking cats - and blinking socks and blinking hats. There was so much blinking going on that it didn't take much to show - how anyone ever got any sleep - I will never know ! The most magic party hat was so magic that when it started to blink at night, the stars in the night sky flickered. The most magic party hat was so magic that it made everyone wink in the zoo, too. The chimpanzees blinked so much that they almost fell from the trees. The zebras blinked so much they almost lost their stripes and fell down to their knees. The gorillas blinked and blinked some more and so did the hippopotamuses too. They blinked so much, their eyes almost filled up with muddy teardrops and they could hardly get out of the mud. The cheetahs blinked so much that they didn't see the lions coming to eat their lunch. They were so busy blinking that they forgot to clean their claws. The blinking didn't stop in the jungle ... before long, there was blinking in the rivers and blinking in the streams, too. The frogs blinked so much that their blinking made the pond water SPLASH !. Even the newts had an attack of the blinks ... they blinked so much that their tails waggled. There was so much blinking going on in the town that even the lamp - posts started to flicker and the headlights on the cars started to flash. There was blinking in the taxis, too, that sped off in a dash. Magic.
