Never smell salt, french fries, fudge and funnel cakes wafting across the boardwalk. Never get to ride a bike a.m. before ten down those boards. Never play miniature golf or grab for the brass ring.

Lights doused, the smoky abyss roars around them. <br /><br />The referee taps their gloves.<br /><br />“Keep it clean, boys….” <br /><br />The bell clangs, an Kangaroo launches a right cross. The beloved, late CBS new anchor wilts on impact. <br /><br />“This is not the way it should be….” <br /><br />Kangaroo chops and chops, muffling,“Noo! If-izzz! If-zzz! If-zzzzzz!”<br /><br />Cronkite covers up. Weeping.<br /><br />An uppercut lifts Cronkite up and then down to the canvas. Captain Kangaroo removes his mouth guard and heaves.<br /><br />“I said, that’s the way it is, you dumb-ass….”Kieran Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681787953865476304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-7877941273386920772012-06-16T11:44:21.830-04:002012-06-16T11:44:21.830-04:00Clowns!
