Plywood
Dane is… well, he’s really Dave over at Rollick’s Coffee… and he often says… “I get that.” My apologies to Dave… you asked me not to draw you into the mural… but you didn’t say anything about drawing you into the comic strip. But really… I drew DANE…. right?
Hey, at least he’s still alive in the comic. A few of the friends who appear in my novels end up dead. (Oddly, at their request.) Mostly, though, they do all right.
Pete… how thoughtful of you… killing off your friends. I’m sure they appreciate it.
…And then we get a crazed, black-leather-clad, crime fighting artist on a black Vespid, packing paintball guns?
And if the vandals wreck the mural, well…they’ll all wake up tied in a giant crochet net, courtesy of the Art-O-Rama Mamas!
Rat… Yah… on her Vespid! Yah! Throwing hot coffee at Vandals which will burn their eyes! Yah!
Dada… and knit clad Enid jumps off the back and nabs them with her net! I love this!
Hmmm, there is a shop in Portland, Maine that has been closed for a while – there is still a poster on the plywood for a concert by the Kingston Trio….
Heeeyyy nooowww!
Back to back,
Belly to belly!
I don’ give a damn ’cause I done that already!
Back to back,
Belly to belly!
At the Zombie Jamboree!
The Auld Grump, only one of the original Kingston Trio is still alive. 🙁
I’d say that establishment is long gone… long gone…
“brains….”
The ‘renovations’ to the building have been going on for a decade…. Strangely… quiet… renovations….
Zombie Jamboree don’t have no brain eatin’, but it does have some wine drinkin’….

Zombie jamboree took place in a New York cemetery
(Where?) Zombie jamboree took place in Long Island
cemetery. Zombies from all parts of the island.
(Where?) Some of them are great calypsonians.
(Some.) Since the season was carnival they got
together in bacchanal. Oh, what ya’ doin’?
(Chorus)
One female zombie wouldn’t behave.
She say she wants me for a slave.
In the one hand she’s holding ta quart of wine,
in the other she’s pointing that she’ll be mine.
Well, believe me folks, I had to run. (Why?)
A husband of a zombie ain’t no fun!
(Don’t knock it!) I says, “Oh, no, my turtle dove,
that old bag of bones I cannot love.” (Oh, what you doin’?)
(Chorus)
Right then and there she raise her feet.
“I’m a-going to catch you now, my sweet.
I’m gonna make you call me ‘Sweetie Pie’.”
I says “Oh, no, get back, you lie!”
“I may be lyin’ but you will see (What?)
After you kiss this dead zombie.” (Blah!)
Well, I never seen such a horror in my life.
Can you imagine me with a zombie wife? (Yes!)
(Chorus)
I sing that one with my girlfriend, now and again. 🙂
The Auld Grump
Grump… call me behind the times… but this is a new one for me! Thanks for the link and lyrics! Smiles! … bag of bones and… quart of wine… nice.
Nah, you’re just not FAR enough behind the times – late fifties, early sixties.
A more recent version was by Rockapella – http://youtu.be/3nI2bVtQ6Kk Same folks that did the theme for Where in the World is Carmen Miranda.
Me, I’m old enough to prefer the Kingston Trio….
