Ventriloquist

Ted could throw his weight around and that wasn't all but also his voice enabling him to have a ball no one suspected it was Ted who was a ventriloquist as his lips wouldn't move while doing his voice trick At the movies, at work or even in church folks would hear Elmer Fudd and their eyes would all search looking at each other thinking where did that come from while Ted would sit there with a grin having a lot of fun One day his Auntie passed away and he remembered her voice attending the wake he thought I have no choice so while friends and relatives knelt in front of the casket he would impersonate his Auntie's voice which was prankster classic Now folks thought his deceased Auntie was trying to contact them as Ted's high voice cried out, "hey nephews Tom, Bill and Len you all better be real good to my other nephew Ted and cater to his needs and keep him very well fed Cause if you don't I will come back and haunt you sneaking up unexpectedly saying boo!" When Tom, Bill and Len heard this they got the shakes thinking it was their Auntie's voice unaware it was fake So for a couple of weeks Tom, Bill and Len catered to Ted taking him out to buffets making sure he was properly fed till one fateful day Ted's cousins found out exactly what he was doing as his ventriloquist prank failed because his lips were moving. 6-21-18
