Mush and Lindsay had gotten themselves cozy in their seats just before the
start of the evening show. The opening acts consisted of clowns and
Medda's tired rendition of "Lovey, Dovey Baby." Mush and Lindsay paid
little attention to the entertainment onstage-they were too enthralled with
each other.
"And now, for your entertainment, Kid Blink, David, and Damon Eugene Butler!" boomed the voice of the announcer.
Mush's ears perked at hearing his pal's name. "I totally fergot dat Blink's been singin' heah!" With that Mush returned to smooching his honey.
The trio of boys stood center stage and began their song.
"When ya walked one day I layed awake all through dah day in case I saw.
Wondahin' why an' cryin'. (Screams from love-sick girls)
Hard tah canibalize if whatevah I had done I could redo.
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
And the beauty in it all was dat dah only one I feeded den was you
Walkin' me through.
How much I've seen it was
It was a dream it was
It was a dream.
When ya walked one day I layed awake all through dah day jist tah resaw.
Tossin' an' gamlin' an' cryin'.
Hard to real life why dah angah of dah guys could make me so
Blue Ooo Ooo.
And the beauty in it all was dat dah shallows by the wall were making you
Bein' a shrew.
How much I've seen it was
It was a dream it was
It was a dream.
Could it be ah lie or maybe be ah dingy fly if I said don't eat tahday
Til I find a place tah hide where I can watch dah dust roll by
Befoah my big woild gets brown.
And dah beauty in it all is dat writin' in dah hall is wrote in blue. I nevah knew.
How much I've seen it was
It was a dream it was
It was a dream. (More screams)
The boys bowed and blew kisses into the audience before they exited. The next act was Melody Larkson singing a bittersweet love song in her soft soprano voice.
Les stood in the wings watching the love of his fourteen years of life step gracefully across the stage as she sang. "Nice, aye?" asked Harold, the new candy butcher. "I undahstand why you'se droolin'."
"Wha?" Les asked through a mouthful of drool. He wiped his slobber onto his sleeve leaving his arm feeling very damp and cold.
"Little Melody," the butcher replied, "she's quite a beaut."
"You can say dat again." Les countered and then returned to starting at Melody.
"I'd like a piece ah dat, wouldn't you?" Harold asked, trying to ignore that Les' salivation had started up again.
"Wha!?" Les was infuriated by this middle-aged man's lack of couth. He wiped his mouth with his other sleeve, "She's jist a goil."
"Dah youngah one's are moah lively." Harold said, raising his eyebrows.
Les was for sure the butcher had gone too far now. Les mustered all of his juvenile strength to punch Harold square in the jaw. Harold fell to the floor, blood dripping from his mouth. "Keep yer eye's offah 'er!" Les puffed out his chest and began to stride away when he slipped on his puddle of spittle landing himself on top of Harold. Les smiled, embarrassed. "I'll be goin' now," he muttered.
