When Irish Eyes are Smiling...

 Blue eyes didn't run in the family. It was green eyes all the way! Olive skin, green eyes and dark hair, seen generation after generation of the O'Connor dynasties. However, a spanner in the works was about to be witnessed.

    Colleen O'Connor became pregnant. She wouldn't admit to who the father was but lived out the nine months with a smile on her face. When her baby was born, her family rallied to see the baby.

 "Look!" exclaimed the grandmother. "There! You can see a very small patch of dark blue, framed by a little branch, pinned up by a naughty star!"

The baby indeed had blue eyes, with fine light eyelashes and eyebrows, which framed the baby's eyes. As for the naughty star? It was the grandmother's way of pointing out that Colleen had had an improper liaison, not that Colleen minded.

Kim at dverse poets has prompted us to pen a prosery of 144 words. It must include the following lines from 'Novel' by Rimbaud:

 'There you can see a very small patch

 of dark blue,

framed by a little branch,

pinned up by a naughty star.'
