Are you basking gloriously?
Are you holding something in the fading light?
Wow, what a rack!
I miss you unbeleivably

Chorus:
Sic!

Maria:
(Whom we hear but not see, only her words on a computer screen)

Hi beloved!
You’re a great kisser!

How it feels to realy love
I dream of embrassing you

Wet and crisp and tasty!!!

Stuck in world wind tour with family, China, Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand, Hong Kong, all that shit

Oh, the battle scars of life!
Missing your magnificent parts!1!
O sexual details at the steakhouse!
O 2 pathetic figures!
:)

Chorus:
Sic!

Will you just shut up!

Shut up and let me think!

First Lady:
The man I married
and a slug?
Not even a house on her back?

Governor:
In my defense, it was dark.
Dark and moist
In the fading night’s light
O was it ever dark

Chorus:
Sic!

Advisors:
We must spin!
We must spin!
But how can this be spun???

First Lady:
You must confess!
Confess! Confess!
Apologize!!!!!

Governor:
What? What? What do you suggest?

Advisors:
What? Confess?
Never!

First Lady:
Confess!
Apologize!
I beseech you!
Just leave out the slug part!

Governor:
What? I am confused!
My head, my head.

Advisors:
The idea!
It is brilliant!
:)))
You must confess!
Just leave out the slug part!

  1. Gosh, I love opera.

    ARMITAGE!

  2. anne

    “The biggest slug of slug is indeed slug.”

  3. I’m confused, and desperately searching for clues as to what this might be about.
    Other than slugs.
    Anyway, I am awestruck.
    And “O sexual details at the steakhouse” is a great line.

  4. Horst – Google “governor argentina.” (The slugs, of course, are the best part.)

    It’s based on the Mark Sanford case, the governor who went to Argentina, and original emails.

  6. But what is your friend the Hobo Spider doing while you spend so much time obsessing over slugs? Feeling neglected, no doubt…
