Pons : (to Skar, his clone) I'm not sure this debate is going well. Ned seems to be rambling while the other two are representing the end of humanity. Skar : (to Pons) Is that my tie? Pons : No, but I'm sure this gravy stain is yours. Skar : I sent it to the cleaners. Pons : The space between the clothes hamper and the wall is not the drop-off for dry cleaning. Skar : So, you only have the one tie? Pons : It used to be all I needed. Abecedari Ann leans in between the two squabblers. AA:  You two look like a sideshow over here. Skar: Do you like my tie? AA: You are not wearing a tie. Pons :  (clutching his tie) This is MY tie.    AA: Okay, Pons. The tie is yours, man. Pons : I'm sorry. Usually I can remain composed.   Betty Beggins sidles up next to Pons.   Betty:  Doesn't Ned look Presidential!   Skar: He's a Young Lincoln. AA: I feel a poem coming on. Pons : He's like Tom Sawyer and the others are the King and the Dauphin.    Betty:  Do you mean the Tom Sawyer Tom Sawyer or the Huckleberry Finn Tom Sawyer?   Skar: Who's Tom Sawyer? AA: Three men vie for the people's votes          coining phrases and throating quotes          spelling out their party's plans          showing all their can'ts and cans.  Pons : I wonder if Ned could get those other two to paint a fence?   Betty:  Did you say something about defense?  To be continued....   Write A Review Image from Google Pays one point and 2 member cents.
