'The year was to be...
"June 1973"
'And, yes Sussy.'
States Ricky.
'We were only sixteen and I was so, so, very shy.'
'As, you were so, so, very pretty and popular.'
'And, I do remember that very Special Day.'
'Yes, that very Special Day in May.'
'When we would finally meet.'
...
'The very first High School Dance!'
"And, possibly my very first first chance at Romance?'
'And, I finally had gotten up the courage to go.'
"But I couldn't dance a damn!'
'And, I definitely wasn't no Elvis Presley man!'
'And yes, we were so, so, very young...
...
'And, welcome back to this one and only May 2020 edition.'
'Of Doctor Ricky's...
"Shed More Tears Fairytales and Fables'
...
'And, my name is Annie...
'Annie Oakley the Greatest Female-Sharpshooter West of this dem, der, Mississippi River!'
'And, I will be your host with the most!'
'Even during this...
"Cornavirus COVID-19 Panedemic Virus Crisis!'
(Death by Consumption!)
...
'Sit back enjoy a cup of me as I narrate this for Thee and Ricky!'
'And, I will see you at the very end for...
"The Lesson of the Day!"
Annie...
...
'And thank you Annie as I do return now to this beautiful Fairytale.'

'Yes, I wanted so much to dance with Sussy but she was so popular!'
'That she danced with boy after boy!'
'And, I thought I would never get or be given a chance?'
'A chance at my first romance?'
'So, I started to cry.'
'Oh Me, Oh My?'
...
'But as Fate would have it that day?'
'And yes, she finally did notice Me!'
'And, said these four most Beautiful words to me!'
"Under the Kissing Tree!'
...
'And, almost each and every day?'
'Right after school?'
'Me and Sussy would meet and greet.'
'So, so, very happy where she and me!'
"Under the Kissing Tree!'
'And yes, as Time would now step in.'
...
'It is now the month of June 1973.'
'So, off my Ricky went to war in Vietnam.'
(Mei Leia)
'And, as for Ricky and Me?'
'As Ricky would fight for me?'
'I would never forget Ricky and me.'
'Under the Kissing Tree"
...
'And yes, as he would go to war.'
'I would go too each and every day.'
'Kneel and pray...
'Each and every day...
'That some fine day?'
'My Ricky would return and again it would be...
'Just Ricky and me.'
"Under the Kissing Tree."
...
'The Newspaper front page Asbury Park Press.'
'Had stated that Private First Class Ricky Edward Smrkovsky.'
'Had died in the field of duty in Mei Leia.'
...
'And yes, it was so, so, now sad for me.'
'But, even as my now grown friends said to me...
'How can you stand it Sussy?'
I said.
'I shall always remember those Precious days of Ricky and me.'
"Under the Kissing Tree"
...
'Okay Ricky looks like you done another tearjerker and got me all crying.:
'Which is completely normal.'
'And, now we must do...
"The Lesson of the Day!"
'And, do I have a show hands from the Fanstorians?'
...
'Yes I see Dolly and I see Dove Marie, as Barbara?'
'Okay Dolly, you've never had a chance to give your comments on one of Ricky's fantastic Fairytales!'
'So now you're up!'
...
'Well first off I like the approach with having two young teenagers find Romance '
'During the mid sixties and then 10 years later?'
'When they're grown?...
'The actual storyteller Ricky.'
'Goes off to war in Vietnam.' (which of course works during that time period)
...
'As he was old enough to be drafted by President Nixon.'
'And of course it was like a "Dear John Letter'
'Back and forth as if he was writing to her and she was writing back.:
...
'And she waited for him "Under the Kissing Tree'
'And, of course it was so, so, sad and, "The Lesson of the Day?"
...
'I think would be that you can lose somebody so, so, special.'
'To make you so, so, sad but you can also remember them forever.'
"Under the Kissing Tree!"
...
'Well thank you Dolly and all and everybody that read this.'
'And, all you cow kids that wear read to.:
