"Hear ye, hear ye! Good people of Westport! Lend me your ears! Look at this man. He is pitiful, all he has to carry him are these broken wheel barrel wheels tied to a chair. Donate your money and help this lame man walk!" I said in a low voice. Then I whispered to Tami who was standing behind me, "is that what you wanted?"
"Perfect!" she winked, "watch this!"
She then ran in front of me and dropped her face on Randy's knees, "Oh daddy! This is horrible! What has become of you!" Her tears looked very real, I could tell she had done this before. Then turning to the crowd, "I beg of you! My daddy is all I have left in this world! I have been struck with the plague!" the crowd gasped and a few coins were tossed into Randy's sack. "Have you no heart? A dying little girl only wishes to go mountain climbing with her dearest dad, and that's all you can give? I pity you!" then off to the side she whispered, "you're turn again."
"Look at these poor wretches. Will you toss them aside like your sewer beast has tossed aside all of your loved ones. You don't want this poor baby to suffer a similar state, do you? Come now, have a heart!" We continued like this for some time.
As the people's eyes filled with tears the money flowed heavily. Until finally, Tamitha thought we had sufficient funds, "Thank you kind strangers! No my father can have that operation to fix his legs! Now go, be with your families. Tell them how much you love them, for you never know where tragedy will strike next!"
After the crowd had dispersed, "Wow, that gave me such a rush, like I'd never felt before. No wonder you guys like to do this." I sighed as I pulled off the scratchy hat and mustache. "We will have to do this again sometime. Now what was it again that we wanted? Oh yes, Ice cream. A dish only served to royalty. But wait, you two will have to get into another disguise so that they won't recognize you."

What that is impossible!? Why would you do this Deanna? This is the most rated Z post I have ever read in my entire life. I am afraid that I must quit this blog if this kind of content continues!
ReplyDeleteZ? for what, "Zeal?" lol. Glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteI was just goofin'. When I turned on the blog earlier there was no post, just a Posted By Deanna sign.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I was a little annoyed when I realized what I had done, but it only took a few minutes to write up the post.
ReplyDeleteoh the humanity, there was absolutely no puppets. i guess? :( but the-the jerican stories oh whoa is me, from puppeteer to beggar. Randy will have to show Mira a few techniques. well at least they can get some ice-cream.
ReplyDeletebut i did like the part about the mustache and about using Randy as a prop (I'm just torn that its begging)
