Street Life
-Her old man owned Risque Birdbath.
Over-named! Just nymphs and satyrs,
and Mr Cupid too.
-Buy one, and the little birdies sporting
among them wet!
-Consolidated Birdbath absorbed us, and
the new firm, Artform Birdbath went
public then. And Wall Street was ecstatic
by the timing!
-And your timing around there?
-Forgot my hat, and could have waited a
day, but went back late. Nothing left
of Laurtrelle's party but her.
The whole house was ticking from an ice
storm by the time we finished our hot
chocolates, and the old folks sawing
wood to beat the band! Well the slanting
ice--couldn't go home in that! So we
giggled, and fooled around.
Long story shortest, I marry into birdbaths.
I'm Vice-President when Rajon Industries
reels us in. "The lawn from ornament to
gazebo!"
-We got one! The latter.
-A year later, they force the old man into
retirement. I'm to be President, but Rajon
insists we make only Cupids.
-This move makes Wall Street happy also?
-Ecstatic! But really. Last time was a fake.
-Anyway, they had become sad with the previous setup? Setups?
-Emotion rules! Anyway, Rajon forced all these
moves, and the Wall Street Journal hailed it for
going on a diet.
-Gorge, disgorge!
-Then in a move that got praise all over
the street, Rajon expelled us totally!
So we're more or less back to the old man's
firm, though he's dead. And listed under
the old name: Risque Birdbaths or RQBB.
Then Laurtrelle expelled ME in favor of
a Line Dance Instructor!
-It’s an epidemic!
-Binnie came in to demonstrate new accounting
techniques, and they were the least of her
talents. So, New Lady!
-Did Wall Street applaud?
-You can screw your brains out for all it cares!
