From: artbrooks
Date: 10 Dec 02 - 03:03 PM

The little man in the corner finishes his rendition of "Oh Holy Night" on the air bodhran and looks around. It appears that a lot has been going on while he has been concentrating. There aren't any more vile screeches coming out of the ladies can, so it looks like somebody finally got that noisy broad out...and who is that charming waif playing the fiddle?

He wanders over to the bar, wondering what happened to the topless barmaid that supposedly got hired, and asks for a can of Old Frothingslosh, the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom. The bartender says "I thought I'd heard of everything, but that's a new one on me." "How about a Mackesons, then?" he says. "Excellent choice," the bartender replies. "I can tell that you're not taken in by the ads for that nasty black crap from New Jersey, that claims to be from Ireland."

He takes his pint and goes to look at the tree. "Appears a little bare yet" he says, taking a bright yellow nose flute out of his Levis pocket and hanging it on a low branch. The contented little cat looks up from her peacock liver pate' and starts it swinging with a bat from one paw.

Love is a star that will not shine
Til the hour of your return.
And I count the days in cups of wine,
And the candles I have burned...."


The stranger plucks the Dreadnought's baritone range and sings quietly across the evening chatter, noticing, across the frosted parking lot and past the shadowed branches of the guarding tree beyond, the faint glimmer of a rising star penetrating the long dark and frozen night without.


He winks at the Fiddler and her precious sweet instrument across the floort, and they break into the "Florida Blues" at an outrageous clip, just as though it was planned... .

The Capuccin wakes up from the hearth corner, and sopmewhat sleepily seeks the coat-tails of his companion's jacket, and makes his way up to his favorite shoulder, where he crouches smilling quietly at the noise and motion around, and sways and waves in time to the blood-warming rhythms, as the long evening gallops on into the unknown.

Hey, I found this battered old silver thing, looks a bit like it was once a flute... though I don't remember a flute with 5 ends..... if we give it to the monkey, he could maybe put it up on the tree, like a star...

It would sure give Morticia a break, I don't think she's very comfortable up there with that branch up her .. erm.... leg.

And the wild fiddle and guitar combo in the background swiongs from "Frankie" into "Uncle Joe, Uncle Joe", which heats the room up even more and starts a rich wafting atmosphere of whiskey, sweat, Guiness, jello and raw pheremones breezing from table to table and accelerating the rich spirit of the evening.

SINSULL sighs in relief to find the Ladies Room finally available. She makes her way to the nearest stall and emerges several minutes later totally confused. "Is the way out?" she asks while several young punks snicker at her apparent inebriation. The sad truth is she is simply lost.
Morticia, sensing that SINS has once again confused north with south and east with west, gently steers her to the bar and another JD. "Damn maps are never done to scale. And the sun has set. How the hell am I supposed to find my way out? No wonder it took the Wise Men years to find Bethlehem. Probably used a AAA map." As she grumbles on, Morticia makes a hasty retreat to join more pleasant company.

The hor's d'euvrs (??) were excellent though, & Baileys, well, a cat could get used to that stuff. Any more there LTS? Just pass it along under the table, there's a good lass.'

The leather mouse makes a desperate bit for freedom, but she's onto it in a flash, throwing it into the air, catching it, throwing it again and.... Oops, she's out in the open & there's all these people around. Freezing into place, she calmly sits & starts to wash her whiskers - she wasn't playing at all, doesn't do that sort of thing of course.

'Now where's that lovely Fairy gone from the top of the tree? Perhaps her magic wand could make me understand these humans... Naah, probably not. They sure are good with their fingers making all that music from all those instruments! Us cats have only got our voices & humans only understand the purring bit.....'

From within the voluminous folds of his old sou'wester he drags out an ancient weather-beaten chinese imitation cajun kazoo, and begins playing Jolie Blonde as the tears roll down his cheeks.
"Oh! Oh! Ma jolie blonde
Oh! Oh! Oh! T'es p'tite fille
Jolie blonde, si jolie
Oh! T'es magnifique
Tu m'as quitté, pour t'en aller
Mais quel espoir me va moé avoir de ramener?"
Seeing the strange blue sky with the words *Translate Page From English to French* he turns and spits to leeward.
"Can't translate shit" he says, then plays a more cheerfull song.

Nose to nose & rear to rear the tabby & tortoiseshell greet each other as old friends do.

'Hey, 'Sand-Camoflaged-Lizard-Strike' (Camo for short), good to see you, you oull bugger. Just waiting to see if these folks get the idea to top up the Baileys bowl. Might have to nudge them a bit, but I have a cunning plan...'

'How's the aurochs getting along? Sure smelling tasty - roast or sausage? Don't tell me they put garlic all over it? We'll need to hold our noses, but it'll be worth it I suppose' replied Camo, settling in for a long wait.

Silently they both analysed the contents of the leather mouse which had come undone at the seams. Then studied the rabbit fur toy.

'I bet it squeaks' Camo declared, and dozed off in the warmth from the nearby fire.

Leonetta the nameless Tabby sidled up to the bar, leapt & tentatively sniffed at the puddle of Guiness which just happened to be pillowing the Drunk's head.

"Now, cousins...I am sure there's more than enough for all your wee little bellies! Be nice, it's Christmas."

"Hey, there sweet heart!! You sure are tall!! Where'd you come from?? You look a little like my old buddy Glinda the Good! COme over here and tell me all about yourself!!"

Nobody has noticed that I am still here in my corner of the bar sipping on Cuervo but I see the party is raging all around me, so I reach into my bag of tricks and pull out my A, I start playing a long, slow rendition of Come into my Kitchen, I'm making up the words as I go-
I'm at the mudcat tavern, it's quite a scene.
You can shake your monkey,
if you know what I mean.
oh won't you come, into MMario's kitchen
because it's going to be snowing outdoors.

Well there's plenty to drink
and plenty to eat
MMario cookin' up, big ol' hunks of meat.
Oh- won't you come on, into MMario's kitchen
because it's going to be snowing outdoors.

Well I'm havin' a good time,
and the music is fine.
Everybody off there feet,
just a' shakin' their behinds
Oh, won't you come into MMario's kitchen,
Because it's going to be snowing outdoors.


MMario shoots a glance at me, and I read it like, "hey I don't want anyone in my kitchen, here eat a sausage" I put down my harp.

There was something else I had to do anyway, so I reach into my bag of tricks and find the video of "The Wizard of Oz" and and an old copy of "Through The Looking Glass" and I go over and put it under the tree.

For the second time that day the Tabby is in exactly the right place at the right time - is that lucky or what? She wonders if the Lady with the strange & mysterious powers has had anything to do with it??

Then looking around & with a determined sort of cross-eyed grin on her face, hauls the Velociraptor off the bar & legs it under the tree. She & Camo waste no time in looking at the big bird.

The bloke in the corner drinking the Cuervo does a double-take as he realises that his dinner has just disappeared. 'Shoulda bin quicker puttin them pressies under the tree' thinks he....

Burping is heard from the lower branches of the tree & the yellow nose-flute is rocking away next to the antique gold glass ball. The swarthy old Seadog looks around curiously. The Fiddler has woken up & she & the Silvertone launch into another tune....

...and the chorus chimes in to rollicking bluegrass rhythms:

CHicken in the breadpan,
Kickin' up dough!
Granny will your dog bite?
No, chile, no!...



Laughter resounds until the timbers shake....

Some come to work, while others do play...
some come to drown their sorrows away

In the far corner over by the gambling machines, Geoff the Duck prepares for the second half of this evenings entertainment in which the star of the show is himself. Geoff strips down to a leopard print thong and spends a long while chosing his drinking straw and using magic extends it between floor and ceiling. After that he carefully places the buckets of custard. Yes Geoff the Duck is going to perform his party trick as the finale to this evening entertainment......JUGGLING CUSTARD WHILE POLE DANCING!!!!!!
