Conniptions

Rhinos sometimes get overheated, at which time a Tantrum often seems like a good idea. Tantrums require practice, and most Rhinos become adept over time. Sometimes Tantrums work, other times, not so much.

A situation in which a Tantrum seems never to achieve much is in ranting at the Weather.

We have tried. Thus far, Nature seems pretty unimpressed.

Most Rhino minds tend to be overactive, collecting impressions, facts, nonsense, data, calculations, connections, etc … a heady mass of Thoughts.

It should be no wonder then to learn that when taking a snooze, most every Rhino takes a moment to Shoo extraneous stuff from our minds.

The lack of Contaminated Thinking is what contributes to our usual Jolly Demeanor.

Shoulder Power

Rhinos have a complete body language vocabulary, most meaningful when used with other Rhinos, who are attuned to the gestures.

The Shrug is a good beginner’s gesture, meaning Ignorance (who knows?) or Indifference (who cares?). A Starter’s Set, involving a blank expression and shoulder lifts. With time, it can be enhanced or nuanced to mean just about anything.

Thus Rhinos can be critters of few words, but maintain our reputation for Eloquence.

Rule, Britannia!

Queen Elizabeth I was 1) born September 7, 1533, and 2) short-tempered. She was the daughter of a snappy father, so she came by her disposition honestly.

Rhinos are known to be prickly, and We can see that it would be easier for everyone, if We weren’t. But somehow our wiring doesn’t adjust much, based on awareness.

Rulers are born with a silver spoon in the mouth, which must be unpleasant for their mothers.

Time’s Merry Pranks

Some critters are born smooth, and then, as time goes by, they get wrinkly, but not so much with Rhinos; We arrive wrinkly on Day #1. Naturally, We like it that way; what’s the alternative?

An interesting coordinated fact is that Rhinos stay not only wrinkly, but Young at Heart, first laugh to the last.

Not that Rhino Life is one big giggle, but We try not to let little stuff get under our skin.
