17 November 2011 - great leader

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Weird: I’ve decided. Today I’m going to become a great leader!
Smart: Whatever keeps you out of trouble.
Poet: I can do this one. Look: Thousands of marigolds believe in you and follow you. They march in rows, singing a sunrise song. You make a speech that sinks into the Earth with thunder in its girders.
Weird: Wow, how did you know?
Poet: Then a knife appears in your back.
Weird: That’s exactly it! Where can I buy a soapbox?
