Saturday Centus: Xentor dismayed!

.
"I'm slipping!" shouted out Freddy from the very top of the climber chain, "help me!"
"Well, don't look down," hollered Xentor as he dialed 911.
"Operator, we've got a situation here on the climbing rock. Come quickly!"
"Yes, a climber is slipping, bring the hook and ladder fire truck."
"Help me fast, I'm slipping off my quit smoking pledge. Gotta' have a cigarette, quick!" moaned Freddy loudly.
"Never mind Operator, it's just a dummy here who needs to fall. It's not the rock he is falling off of."
"No, he's falling off the wagon. And has rocks in his head!"

Saturday Centus: Esmeralda gets a shot of you-know-what from Xentor!

.

"What's wrong, Esmeralda," Xentor asked, "you've been dumping around now most of the day."

"Oh, Uncle!  I am glad you noticed.  I just can't seem to get started with my term paper." 

"Well, perhaps I can help," offered Xentor in his big brother sort of way, "I'm experienced.  What is your theme?"

 "Part of my trouble, I'm not even collected enough for a theme.  I don't have a theme yet" she said with a wimpy little voice, "thanks but forget it."

"It's an amusing little whine you've got there.  Good start for a theme?" 

"'Little muse of mine; an amusing whine'."

"Uncle!  You're so brilliant!"

Waiting

new generation

waiting, the tide will come in

they sweep it back out

old generation

waiting also, just to see

they know can't be done

One Single Impression: Wanting

.

Wanting

I'm wanting--wanting someone new
It's a friend that I cannot find
Who she is I may never tell
That's because I don't know myself

She may bring something nice to eat
or perhaps a bouquet of blooms
Someone nice she's someone pretty
Pretty is by each soul defined

She might be someone very young
or someone terribly ancient
I will know when first I see her
Sure it will love at first sight be

Saturday Centus: Green Harley Boy and Blonde Sally

"Just think," he said, "if you'd a married me you would have had it all. You wouldn't be havin' to work, you could've had a lovely trailer home in your driveway, and "

Green Harley Boy was interrupted by Blonde Sally's retort, "Yeah, and the tractor you rode in on."

She continued, "Why did your wife leave you anyway?"

"She wanted a Ritz Carlton life.  No worries, no cows in the barn, one with silk satin sheets."

"That's an oxyimbecile. He don't know what he's talkin' about," quipped Blonde Sally, "ain't no such thing as silk satin sheets. 

"Let's be quiet and enjoy this motorcycle ride."

Tickle her tummy
rub her neck--she purrs--she bites
