Circa 1876
Festus was coming out of the General store with his new sweetie, Ida SweetCidah. She battled her eyelashes at him and said,”(5) See you later alligator.” Festus smiled broadly as he replied,”In a while, crocodile.” Doc overheard this little exchange…….”Festus….Do you even KNOW what a crocodie IS?! Or where they live?!”
Festus:”Why, shore I do Doc. They’re over-sized crawfish that live somewhere’s in Montana, I think.”
Doc:” Yeah….Montana……Jesus.” He shook his head in exasperation and headed over to the Long Branch Saloon for a brew.
He walked in just as Miss Kitty was speaking to the man painting her office.
Kitty,frustrated with his slow progress……. “(4) You don’t have to paint me a picture; Just paint the walls and ceiling. This isn’t the Sisteen Chapel for God’s sake!!!” The painter, Michael AngelLow, pleaded with her.
Michael AngelLow:”But Missa Kitty.”(Italian accent) I’m a going to paint a BEAUTIFUL scene for you.” Then he seemed to go into a trance when he said:
“Whatever beauty here on earth is seen,
To meet the longing and perceptive eye,
Is semblance of that source divine,
From whence we all are come.
In this alone we catch a glimpse of Heaven.”
Kitty was speechless.
Michael:”I’ll paint you something so beautiful…..You’ll think you’re in church.” Then he ushered Miss Kitty, who was beginning to drool from her open mouth, out the door.
When she went back into the main room of the bar, she saw Doc.
Doc:”What’s the matter with YOU? Uh, Kitty, you need to wipe your chin….Got a little drool.”
Kitty told him what the painter had said.
Doc:”Sounds to me as though you’ve got a real artist. Let him do it his way…….Sounds kinda nice.”
The swinging doors to the saloon swung open as U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon walked in. Kitty looked at him and called:”Hey,cowboy….Come on over and join us.”
Ever since Matt had left her for Sunshine MacGillicutty, Kitty seized every opportunity afforded her to talk with the handsome lawman.
Matt took a seat……”Soooo…What’s new?” Doc told him about Festus and Ida,Montana and the crocodiles and Kitty told him about Michael AngelLow.
Matt:”Sounds like another normal day in Dodge!”
Kitty:” Matt?………”Do you ever (3) Close your eyes and think of me?” Doc got up and left. He knew where all of this would lead.
Matt:” Kitty…..You know how I feel about Sunshine. My thoughts are with her. (2) I used to love you but it’s all over now.”
Kitty:”Well please, don’t sugar coat it for me!!” Kitty slammed her hand down on the table causing Matt so much fright, he got the hiccups!
She strolled over to Billy Jolinski, the piano man.
Kitty: “Billy………..Play us a song, you’re the piano man. Play us a song tonight.”
Billy started playing a soft little melody. Kitty took a LONG drink from his beer mug and then launched into a song she was writing as she sang:
♫ “Festus is sweet on dear Ida. Montana is filled with them crocs.
Doc has a pile of unpaid-for tabs. And I got a hole in my socks.
I got me a painter from Italy. He’s painting my office right now.
And Matt is still sleeping with Sunshine MacG. What does he see in that cow?
If Dillon returns to my bedroom. I think he will find it’s too late.
I’ve cried way too long. Written this lousy *** song.
And(1) There’s a thin line between love and hate.♫”
THE END!
Enjoy!
There’s a thin line between love and hate. Very thin. But, if the line is thin, it still takes a mountain of crap to get some people to cross that line. This is especially true for the truest people like Silva.
Life can be exceptionally exciting and vibrant when viewed behind rose colored glasses. When it came to Ray, Silva’s lenses were Coke-bottle-bottom thick, garbage-can-lid round, and as dark and as deeply colored as any Variegata de Bologna Rouge you could imagine. When it came to Ray, Silva had it BAD!
How do you describe Ray? Handsome? Hmm… Yes, Ray was handsome, alright. Most women’s toes ached just looking at him. Lush, almost royal, blue eyes filled with an electric POP! To look into Ray’s eyes was to be entranced. There was a mirth as well as a gentleness about his eyes that surprised you against the visceral power you felt in their gaze. The mirth and gentleness, however, were only physically evidenced by ever so slightly and naturally drooping eyelids. If there was any real mirth and gentleness about Ray, it was buried so deep you couldn’t truly read it in his eyes.
But, it was with good reason you always described Ray’s eye’s first. They were, indeed, magnificent. And, the effect was only engorged when Ray smiled that delightful smile. Not cheesy or overdone, Ray’s smile was the perfect understated embellishment complemented by the solid, manly jawline, sharp nose and sculptured cheek bones that created a perfect frame for those eyes contrasting so well with the wavy, black, carefree hair. Yes, Ray was handsome, alright. …And, didn’t he know it! It was hardly fair that his physique held no shame in comparison to the irresistible appeal of his facial features.
You don’t have to paint me a picture. I used to be Ray’s best friend. Used to be…. until I got tired of seeing him tear through women like so many rolls of cheap toilet paper. I mean, how cold do you have to be to send your latest and soon-to-be-suffering victim a gold foil box of long-stem roses with a lurid invitation for dinner (and more) in a private booth at Chez Michel and then just as the Crème Brule is being served he cavalierly tells you, “I used to love you, but it’s all over.” …And, then promptly rises from his seat with a pert wink, click of the tongue and a smooth, “See you later, alligator.”, as he leaves you to pick up the check!
He is so good at it that, for a long time, I used to buy his explanation.
“Look, really I’m doing them a favor. Unless I crush them, not just break their heart, but utterly snuff the life out of it, they just keep coming back for more. The whining and clinging drag on and on and on. I’ve found its cleaner this way and there is a certain energizing hatred that emerges to carry them across the gulf of their broken-hearted despair. Besides, it’s just a lot less hassle for me.”
But, Silva? Silva wasn’t a whiner. Silva wasn’t a clinger. She wasn’t a drag, and certainly not a hassle, nor a hater. And, that’s what made it all the more strange, unbelievable. Silva made friends with everyone. She was pert and sassy. And, if she wasn’t drop-dead gorgeous, she also wasn’t hard to look at. No, Silva was beautiful and what she appeared like on the outside really didn’t matter because you instantly like what she had inside. Jeez, Ray even liked Silva almost as much as he liked himself. For a while.
Georgia came home from work. It was Friday night, and she felt like going out for dinner, maybe dancing afterwards. She threw her keys on the kitchen counter and walked into the living room to see what Walter was up to.
Walter was lieing on the couch in his undershirt and boxer shorts. He had a can of beer on the table, and he was absorbed in Jerry Springer’s show.
“Walter, there’s a thin line between love and hate, and it’s times like these that come dangerously close to pushing me over the line,” Georgia told him. “Now go clean up and change. I want to go out tonight.”
“Aw, honey,” Walter protested. “I was all comfie here on the couch. Can’t we just order a pizza and relax tonight?”
Georgia was getting too used to his excuses. She had initially been attracted to Walter because of his relaxed manner, but lately, his manner had become _too_ relaxed. He never seemed to want to leave the house or do anything entertaining.
Georgia sat down and heaved a deep sigh. “Walter, we need to talk.”
Walter could tell this was not going to be an enjoyable conversation. “You don’t have to paint me a picture,” he told her, pulling himself up into a sitting position.
“I used to love you, but it’s all over now,” said Georgia. “Please don’t feel badly. It’s not that you’re a bad person. I just think we want different things in life. We have different expectations about how life ought to be.”
“I understand,” said Walter, “and I understand what you have to do. I’m really sorry this didn’t work out. I was so hoping it would. This winter, when you are snuggled on the couch in front of the fire, close your eyes and think of me.”
Again, Georgia sighed, and walked over to the phone. She dialed a number. “Hello? Yes, this is Georgia Long. I’d like to exercise the exchange agreement under our contract. My contract number is P105468X. . . . . That’s right . . . . 204 Elm Street . . . . Yes, please send over a model with evening clothes this time. . . . . Thanks very much. I’ll see you in a few minutes.”
Not too much later a van pulled up into Georgia’s driveway. It had “Rent-a-companion” painted on the side, and there was a graphic of a happy, smiling woman with an attractive man standing in the backgound behind her.
Two burly men rang Georgia’s doorbell and she let them in. “Where is he?” one of them asked. Georgia pointed to the living room.
Walter had gathered up his few things and was sitting in a chair, holding them on his lap. The two men from Rent-a-Companion got on either side, picked him up chair and all, and hauled him out to the van. “See you later, alligator,” Georgia whispered as he was loaded into the back of the van, and secured.
The two burly men brought in a handsome man who introduced himself as Armando. He was dressed in a nice pair of slacks and a sport coat, with an open-collared shirt. He was clearly presentable to go to a nice dining establishment and out for drinks and dancing afterwards, and he seemed to be eager to get started.
Georgia told Armando to make himself comfortable, and then went to clean up and change for the evening. She was certainly glad she had signed that contract with Rent-a-Companion. Instead of having to adjust to the self-centered whims of some husband, whose tastes may or may not coincide with hers at any given moment, all she needed to do was call the service and exercise her option to have them deliver a different guy to fit her mood. She ordered Walter when she was in a “stay-at-home, less-drama-is better” phase. Now that she wanted to go out, Armando would fill the bill nicely.
