Reeling In A Really Big Show


Somewhere in Bucks County where the tree's barks were shaded with green Ben Salem found out his name was removed from the board.

“We are claiming you are delinquent.,” the financial branches were able to batter the angry winds.

“I know I am out of the money,” he sighed not knowing what path to take, “owin I am but I am still a winner I have a show it maybe a long shot but,”

“Tommy’s Top Cat,” a voice interjected, “wait a second you won dozen banks on that idea.”

“Yes,” Ben stood up, “Tommy’s Top Cat a feline fantasy.”

“A feline fantasy?”

“A cat’s me ow,” Ben started to be stronger knowing it was a promising concept, “no pussy footing around.”

“I assume it's coming from the keys of an Underwood typewriter and the mind of an in-debt Twain,”

Once again, the night sky was thrown into black, and Ben found himself feeling very cold until a light appeared with the instructions, “if you are out of the money and your name is off the board, tap a miracle.”

And there was the miracle wanting a tap.

“Just tap it Ben,” the soothing siren returned.

When Ben finished his mission a vision came over the new horizon showing all sorts of mature maiden’s filling out paperwork stating what individuals were claiming. Then in an instant everything stopped and there was an angelic comforting image.

“Ben welcome to the Delta House,” the hopeful glimmer welcomed the tired dear fishing for something, “I was on my third unbridled pulpit.”

“Excuse me,” Ben interrupted, “what’s an unbridled pulpit?”

Looking down very sternly the response came, “that is when I have free reign,” there was a pause only to continue, “my mature maidens told me this was my place and my call.”

“And?” Ben showed some sweat.

“They showed me this photo,” the conversation proceeded, “And told me it was a winner.”

“Of course,” Ben studied the picture, “Gaspergu! It would make a great song and dance.”

“All you have to do is add tartar sauce.”

Ben opened his eyes, and the winter was now over which meant he could turn the garden into a spectacular theater where Tommy’s Top Cat gets his catch straight from the Delta’s mouth.
