They say that once in Zanzibar
A boy stuck out his tongue so very far,
It reached the heavens and touched a star,
Which burned him rather badly.
It wasn't there, but they say that lout
Now keeps his tongue inside his mouth,
But if you ask him to stick it out....
I think he'll do it gladly.
--Shel Silverstein
Oh come on...tell me that YOU don't think these azalea flowers look as if they are sticking out their tongues. Imagination is a terrible thing to waste.
