d.: Cal.E., can you stop singing long enough to tell me how your date with The Tuxedo went?
C.: Okay. First, we shared some stinky garbage. Then, I got up on stage to sing with my all-girls band. Tucker was the most boisterous member of the audience, so I decided to invite him up on stage. He proceeded to do an excellent imitation of Elvis in the later years. He looked the part, since he’s so heavy!
At the end of the concert, Tucker took a rose from his pocket and gave it to me. We danced the tango for an hour, and then he got down on one knee and proposed…
d.: Marriage?
C.: Of course. I said ‘yes,’ and we set the wedding date for six months from now. So, if you aren't doing anything on July 23 of this year, I would like for you to sing at my wedding.
d.: I don’t know, Cal.E. This could be a set up with Tucker and Tom. They may still be trying to get Tom’s money back from you. I’d be very careful. YOu haven’t known Tucker that long. Besides, isn’t he studying to get an advanced degree? When would he have time for you?
C.: Tucker says that he can take an accelerated course from the College of the Catskills and be done by June. Then, I’ll be marrying a doctor. Two-time losers can’t be choosers, you know.
d.: But you were married to the king of the planet before you came to earth. That makes you royalty. Is it really that intriguing, to marry a Ph.D. whose main claim to fame is to be the hench cat for a bully whom you owe money to?
C.: I think that you’re misjudging Tucker. He’s intelligent, well-educated, and well spoken. Besides, all that heft comes in handy at times. No other cats dare mess with me while I’m with Tucker, not even Tom! Just think, in six short months, I’ll be Mrs. Tucker, Tucker Two.
d.: I see the bad moon a-risin'
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today
Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear rivers over flowin'
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise, alright
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Well don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't come around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
