she emerges from her morning toilette
batting her long darks lashes over her doe eyes
smiling with those rich dark heavily painted balck lips
and teeth white as pure snow
with the occassional scratches running through them

she stretches her arms and yawns
looks in the mirror and puffs up her hair
blows herself a kiss and walks outside
into the simple pleasures of her black and white world

she walks down the sidewalk from her apartment home
turning the heads of every man she passes
the police officer who turns around to view her legs
and then falls into an open manhole
the taxi driver who passes her by with his head
and his tongue hanging out the window
(he crashes into a telephone pole!)
and the construction worker way up high on scaffolding
looking down trying hard to peer at her buxomy chest
till he loses his balance and lands face first
in a wheelbarrow full of cement

but our heroine just keeps strolling along
blissfully unware of any of these minor tragedies
as she eyeballs only the path in front of her
and all the grainy goodness that it holds...
and there it is standing before her
wammie's drug store...that magical place
where Billy Boo the soda jerk works
the love of her life...
the one man who makes her little heart flutter

and she stands in front of the store for a bit
where the wind from a sidewalk grate gently
pops up her skirt here and there
givinga all the male passers by a little peep show
which results in two bicyclists slamming into each other
and a baker walking down the street with a freshly baked cake
which slips out of his hands and lands
square on the head of the Widow Radcliffe
who beats him over the head with her parasol
as the words "You Fiend!" flash on the screen
in such a fancy old world font
with delicate borders around it

meanwhile, our heroine takes out her compact
and she puffs up her face a few hundred times
then sneezes and puffs it up some more
perhaps a little bit more of that black velvetty lipstick
she smacks her lips together smiles and giggles
and skips on into the drug store

she sees her sweet Billy Boo wrestling
with a blender out of control sending ice cream flying everywhere
as an old man with a hat, covered in ice cream
sits at a stool pointing his finger at Billy
and moving his mouth five six or seven times as the words
"you jackass!" pop up on the screen...
the piano music intensifies as Billy hands the man a towel
to wipe himself off and then trys to pour some soda
from a spritzer and the daggone thing goes out of control
drenching the poor old man with soda
he then hops up on the stool waving his fists
looking for a fight yelling and screaming
words that don't pop up on the screen

and he drops his hat and our heroine picks it up
and she hands it to him
and she bats her big dark eyelashes at him
"oh please don't hurt my boyfriend!"
the words on the screen say
and he looks at her and his eyes pop out of his head
and he blushes a dark shade of gray and smiles
and kisses her porcelain white hand
and walks out the door of the drug store
whilst looking back on her cute fanny
and he falls down the stairs outside

Billy Boo then smiles at his beloved
and he takes out a giant ice cream scoop
and makes a big ole sundae piled high
with chocolate, whipped cream and nuts
and he puts two spoons in it
and they both sit across from each other
staring dreamily into the other's eyes
as they each take bites of the wonderful sundae
suggestively licking their spoons

a little love heart zeroes in on them from outside the screen
as everything in their world suddenly fades to black

The End.
