A PUPPET SOMEWHERE IN TOWN
IS STRAINING AS HE DANCED.
CUT THE STRINGS
THE AUDIENCE CRIED
SET HIM FREE
CAN'T YOU SEE
HE WANTS TO DANCE.
HE'S NOT MEANT TO STAND DUMMY STILL
LIKE A FOOL LOOKING SO LAME
GIVE HIM HIS CHANCE.
BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON
THE MASTER OF CEREMONIES DID RESPOND.
CUTTING THE STRINGS MEANS THERE'D BE
NO FURTHER ACTION ON STAGE.
WELL THEN, AT LEAST LENGTHEN THEM
SOMEONE SAID FROM THE FRONT ROW
SO HE DOESN'T HAVE TO STRAIN SO MUCH
OR LET US HAVE AT HIM.
WE'LL TAKE HIM HOME WITH US
AND RESTORE HIM TO WHAT HE WAS
INTENDED TO BE.
CAN'T YOU SEE HE KNOWS THE MEANING OF MIRTH, OF CELEBRATION
OF LAUGHTER AND GLEE
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO STRAIN SO HARD FOR US
TO SEE. WE CAN WAIT.
ALRIGHT, I'LL CALL UP THE PROP MAN AND HAVE HIM
LENGTHEN HIS STRINGS
IF YOU INSIST, BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON.
IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE ONE OTHER ACT
TO BRING TO YOU.
HERE'S A ROBOT ACT WE CAME ACROSS THE OTHER DAY:
RIGHT AWAY ON TARGET,
OUT CAME RUSTY METALLIC VERSIONS OF
GEORGE W. BUSH, DICK POOPOO CHENEY
CONDOLEASE A RICE PADDY, COLIN CANCEROUS POWELL,
JOHN ASHCRAPPY
AND DONALD RUM BOTTLE TWICE.
THEY MUST HAVE GOTTEN SOAKING WET
DURING THEIR LAST ACT ON STAGE
AND FORGOT TO DRY UP.
BUT RIGHT ON CUE, THEY BEGAN TO ACT OUT THEIR FART
WITH A FEW FALSE STARTS.
THEY GOT TOGETHER IN ONE BIG PILE ON STAGE
LAID DOWN ON TOP OF EACH OTHER
AND STARTED TICKLING, FONDLING,
GIGLING AND SQUIRMING OVER EACH OTHER GETTING INTO
EACH OTHER'S PRVATE PARTS
EVEN LETTING OUT A FEW FARTS IN BETWEEN
YOU'D THINK THEY WERE HAVING
SOME PRIVATE KIND OF ORGY OR SOMETHING,
EACH ONE IMITATING THE OTHER ONE
SOMETIMES FORGETTING THAT THEY TOO
WERE PUPPETS OF SORTS.
NO VISABLE WIRES OR STRINGS ON THESE ROBOTS
YET CLEARLY THEY WERE BEING RUN BY SOME OTHER MASTER, SOMEWHERE BEHIND THE CURTAINS.
THEN THEY STARTED PUNCHING THE AIR AROUND THEM
AS THOUGH THEY WERE FIGHTING
IMAGINARY SCHEMES
UNSPEAKABLE THINGS
PRETENDING TO BE FAIR
TO EACH OTHER....
GET THEM OFF THE STAGE
THE AUDIENCE BOOED
THIS ISN'T A PUNCH & JUDY SHOW WE PAID DEARLY FOR
TELL THEM TO STOP TRYING
TO IMITATE THE REAL DANCERS WE PAID TO SEE.
BRING OUR FAVORITE PUPPET BACK
HIS STRINGS MUST HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED BY NOW.
TO ACCOMODATE THE AUDIENCE
THE PRODUCERS OF THE SHOW THEN
ROUNDED UP ALL THE METALLIC MINDED POLITICAL ROBOTS
WITH A FLIP OF A COUPLE OF SWITCHES BEHIND THEIR BACKS
AND OFF THEY MARCHED THEM SUMS OF BITCHES
DOWN THE AISLE TO THE ROOM OF IMAGININGS
FROM WHENCE ALL THERE SINS WERE CLEARLY SOWN.
BUT WHEN THE PUPPETS APPEARED ON STAGE AGAIN THE AUDIENCE WAS AMAZED. THEY WERE ALL DANCING, TURNING SOMMERSAULTS, HAVING A BALL. THERE WERE NO LONGER ANY STRINGS CONNECTED TO ANY OF THEIR ARMS OR LEGS AT ALL, NOR TO THEIR NECKS,THEIR MOUTHS NOR TO ANY OTHER PART OF THEIR ANATOMIES NEITHER FROM THE EAST OR THE WEST, TO THE NORTH, OR TO THE SOUTH. THEY WERE ALL FREE.
OUR FAVORITE PUPPET MUST HAVE HAD PITY
ON ALL THE PUPPETS, EN MASSE
TIED THE PROP MAN UP SO THEY COULD DO
WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE,
WHICH WAS TO DANCE FREELY WITHOUT ANY STRINGS ATTACHED.
NOW WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO JOIN THIS TROUPE OF DANCERS,
THESE PUPPETS OF GLEE
TO BE AS FREE AS THEY BECAME?
THE AUDIENCE MADE GOOD
ON THEIR TICKETED PROPRIETORY CLAIMS TO BE
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, WITH ALL THE PUN INTENDED.
BY THE WAY, THEY DIDN'T FALL FLAT ON THEIR FACES EITHER
OR CRUMPLE TOGETHER IN A PILE LIKE THE ROBOTS DID
WHEN THEIR STRINGS WERE TAKEN OFF.
GOOD ENTERTAINMENT,
THEIR TICKETS CLEARLY STATED IN BOLD SHINY PRINT DUE THEM,
GOOD THING THE AUDIENCE MADE THEIR DEMANDS TO FREE THE PUPPETS AND GET THE ROBOTS OUT
WITH THE POWER IN NUMBERS
AND THEIR SUBSEQUENT CLOUT.
THE EXTRA BONUS, HOWEVER, WAS THAT
NO ONE EXPECTED WISDOM OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
TO COME OUT OF IT AT ALL,
PAID ADMISSION FOR WISDOM
DOESN'T COME CHEAP.
YET SOMEHOW THE AUDIENCE LEARNED THEIR LESSON:
THE DAY THEY DEMANDED THE ROBOTS LEAVE THE STAGE.

Actually I was farcing our own Punch and Judy Show (American pop puppet show of the 70's and 80's where judy always swings and punches punch who always bounces back up and punches Judy....both adult content (like in the old-politically correct days) and kid fun.....
