BEGINNING
He gave me this ticket
for blocking an aisle
during the rush-hour.
I don´t understand,
I was in the slow lane.
I´d just stopped
a moment at the condimentshop
where the store´s
having a get-acquainted
sale on Low Calorie Calories.
Tonights play is not unrelated
to this milieu. It is
called ‘Lamb To The
Slaughter’. But before
we see it, the store has
asked that I direct your
attention to their very
best bargain.
END
Well, that´s the
way the old meat ball
bounces. As for Mary Maloney,
she would have gone scotfree
if she hadn´t tried
to do in her second husband
the same way. Unfortunately
he was the forgetful type
and had forgotten to plug
in the freezer. The meat
was as soft as jelly.
Speaking of plugs, that
is precisely what our
sponsor wants to do for
his product. After which
I´ll wheel back.
(clip) And now, ladies
and gentlemen, those of
us who work in television,
have a technical term
for this part of the programme.
We call it, The End. Next
week we should be back
with another story. (honk,
honk) I must be going,
I can´t risk another
ticket. Good night.
