[Delmonico]

Later litttle black speck lookin' things start to appear in the FFg's room,  everywhere.

On her pillow, on her dresser, in her dresser drawer, the one she keeps her flannel un-mentionables in.  Even in the shot glass beside the bottle of homemade peppermint schnapps that Trinity made.  In fact her shooes are half filled with little black specks.

[Silver Creek Slim]

OOOOOOOOOOH! 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother tsks at all the gerbil poop.

"Keep doing that, Delmonico, and I'll put a cork someplace that even the chalky stuff won't remove!"

[Delmonico]

It would be easier to turn me back to my crabby ol' self.  Ya ever try to catch a rodent loose in a house.    Feathers fly as Delmonico the Gerbil tears up a feather pillow.   Hidin' behind the dresser he starts chewin' loudly on the base board.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Behave, Delmonico, or I will wave the wand and get Richard Gere in here!"

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother leaves it to Slim to do a Google search on Richard Gere and gerbils.

[Delmonico]

"Gotta catch me first, I ain't no wimpy pet store gerbil."  Finding a school slate, well fuess what, you think finger nails on a chalk-board are bad.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Humph." With a flip of her wand and an idle hope that Delmonico the gerbil is not currently in a small place, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother transforms him into the body of a seven year old Shirley Temple.

[Silver Creek Slim]

 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

( Better a pic of Shirley than one of Mr. Gere and his gerbils, eh, Slim?   )

[Delmonico]

If you don't turn me back to my crabby ol' self I'm gonna sing "The Good Ship Lollipop" and that would be worse'n the chalkboard and anything to do with gerbils.

[Silver Creek Slim]

( Better a pic of Shirley than one of Mr. Gere and his gerbils, eh, Slim?   )

That's fer sure. 

[Silver Creek Slim]

We could dress ya like this.   

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

( Will comes in and reads over AnnieLee's shoulder. "Could be worse than Good Ship Lollipop," he says, laughing, "could be 'Animal crackers in my soup, monkeys and rabbits like to poop.'"      )

[Delmonico]

Will make her turn me back, I'll tell you a secret if you do.

"The Good Ship Lollipop"


I've thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train.
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes.
Some day I'm going to fly.
I'll be a pilot too.
And when I do, how would you
Like to be my crew...

On the good ship lollipop.
Its a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay.

Lemonade stands everywhere.
Crackerjack bands fill the air.
And there you are
Happy landing on a chocolate bar.

See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll
With the big bad devils food cake.
If you eat too much ooh ooh
You'll awake with a tummy ache.

On the good ship lollipop
Its a night trip into bed you hop
And dream away
On the good ship lollipop.

As song by DELMONICO, accompamyed by seven howling coyotes.

 
 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(Will says: "Turn him into a chicken, first!")

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother gets a far away look in her eyes, then waves her magic wand. **POOF**, as soon as Delmonico finishes singing, he turns into a pullet.




(Could've been worse, could have been a capon!)

[gophergrease]

Tonites supper:

Chicken dumplings and peach cobbler

Now if I can just catch that dam stay bird runing around here.
Maybe I should load the shotgun with #12 so it dont make to big of holes in the house.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Just as Gophergrease is putting a good bead on the wayward chicken, it returns to Delmonico's crabby ol' self, but sprinkled with sawdust.

There is a hint of laughter behind the Frumpy Fairy Godmother's door, then her light is blown out and she goes to bed.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico, goes in his office and slams the door.  He reopens it when Duke scratches at the door and lets him in.   He gets out his fountan pen and a sheet of paper and starts a list of how to get even.   He has a thought, goes to the kitchen and finds a bottle of licorice extract.     He then returns to his office.    

Gettin' out his Sears and Roebuck Catalog he orders a rubber snake.    Then he has another thought and writes a friend in Michygun and orders a wolverine.   The for good measure he writes a friend in Airy-zona and orders a dozen ta-rancey-las.       Then he adds a pair of hoof trimmers to the Sears and Roebuck order along with three jars of Vas-o-line.

[Trinity]

On hearing the word "licorice", the Frumpy Fairy Godmother retreats to her room with her coffee.

 (Ewwie!!!!)

Trinity enters, haven returned from hiding his hootch again from the revenoooooooooooooers.  "Ah don' like Lik-o-rish either, Gophergrease. sorry.  Ah may take fennel in mah Eye-talian sausage, but that is as close as I will get to that dang-gummed flavor!!!  Ah wonst had a bad time with some greek fellers that stayed at mah family's place ta learn about 'baccer growin'.  They was more fun then the Germans, but their dranks weren't fun atall!

What's fer dinner?  It's a good thing we ain' gonna have none of that Chicken that was runnin' around here.  It looked mighty tough and dry!

Say, Slim, can ya get us a map of the minin' towns in the area so that Gophergrease and I can get ta sellin'?"

Trinity thinks for a moment... the first time since Gophergrease suggested this venture... "Sin' Ah ain from around here, what on earth is they minin' roun' here?"
