Take your shoes off, stop running in the house! [willy runs up the stairs. we hear two loud thumps, then see willy run down the stairs, shoeless.] mother: Did you want some cocoa? willy : GUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS WHAAAAAT!@3!6236741 mother: You found another snail? willy : nooOoOOOOOOO, my teacher asked me to be in the school, um, thing! mother: What school thing?

[she takes it, reads it, then hands it back.] mother: That's very good, willy! Now, can you sing it? willy : okay!@# [lights dim, spotlight on willy appears. willy is full front.] ive never met elmo, ive never gone to his raves. ive never danced his funky dance and never seen him shave. elmo and the fur he has, red and fluffy, too, is always perfectly random and straight, but never ever blue. see, if this elmo puppet i know were to suddenly die, i know who would take his place, it'd be "Smiley, Guy". Thank you, Thank you, kinda like Bob Barker, his head moves, his chin does not, i think this makes him smarter. big bird was a bit of a fruit, though i did really like him lots. standing in his big, feather suit im sure it got quite hot. ive never met elmo, ive never met big bird. im sure if oscar were my friend, id be his number one tu.. wait [--------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ (c) !LA HOE REVOLUCION PRESS!
