willie, xena, yeti, and zorina called themselves the four amigos.
they met down by the old mill stream in delaware..
willie worked as an elevator repairman on the swing shift.
xena was a free lance doppelganger on the wild side.
yeti was a professional class clown for the highest bidder.
zorina had difficulty explaining exactly what she did or said.
they had good times together, after the sun went down.
things went on in this way for weeks and months.
in his previous life willie was a dentist in el paso.
xena had been alternately a butterfly and a dive bomber.
yeti had never known his grandfather or a free lunch.
zorina had been a princess in fifteen different forgotten kingdoms.
willie’s favorite movie was the bridge on the river kwai.
xena’s favorite lipsticks were imported from singapore and were expensive.
yeti went for long walks along sandy beaches and coutnry roads.
zorina had them all beat when push came to shove.
bluebeard ran the old mill stream wih a iron hand.
he did not let anybody challenge him on his turf.
not the amigos, the so-called authorities or any other losers.
zorina’s mother did not approve of zorina’s three friends.
she appealed to bluebeard to break up the merry band.
and hired a hotshot lawyer, clarence wimble, to get serious.
and a seasoned hitman, named blackie, to back hm up.
bluebeard saw the writing on the wall and headed south.
that is just the way that some people are. unfortunately.
don’t worry about it - just try to do your best.
