A STORY (2017)

It was the day that it was n Rapunzel begged 4 a break.
"I would love 2 give U one:I would,"said the rugged Tom Sawyer,"but the castle is just up ahead."
He then promised 2 feed his most trusted maidservant. She did deserve it, after all. This trek hadn't been a walk in the park,4 him or her. Especially her.
Somebody had already tried 2 steal her ,from right under his nose,at that. The nerve! Luckily the would b thief didn't have strong enuff shearers 2 cut through Rapunzel's golden locks. Tom praised his quick thinking. The intuition that led him 2 have her walk around the redwood so as 2 tie her 2 the artifact of nature, with her own hair.
He couldn't risk lobsving her. No,not days b4 the honeymoon. That was destined 2 b a joyous occasion n he planned 2 keep it that way.

The castle was all that Huck Finn,the best man said it would B. Six stories high, drenched in camouflage paint,with a draw bridge 4 the ages! Gargoyles stood attentively guarding the entrance.
Tom hopped off of the blonde sled, then escorted Little Red Riding Hood 2 the earth.
"Don't worry Baby Cakes. I got U
"Its safe. I promise. Soon I'll be able 2 buy U a castle that rivals this one."
"I know this dear.
"I'm just concerned about Rapunzel. We need 2 get her something 2 eat,n I'm sure her hair could use a washing,or 2 -or3..."
Walking 2 the front of the human taxi, Mr. N Mrs. Sawyer assured "Punzy" that she could start washing her luxurious locks in the sparkling water that surrounded the structure.
"Don't know if they have enough but I'll b right back with some shampoo," Little Red Riding Hood assured her.

After giving the signal amount of thumps, the bride n groom were let in. Course the Misses jumped n squeezed Tom's arm harder as the door closed behind them.
As the walked the halls a question arose in front of them.
"What r U doing here?
"We told U never 2 return. Or else!"
Mrs. Sawyer ignored the voices, yet they did not ignore her.
"We told u not 2 come here. EVER again! Not after what you've done!
"How dare u show Ur face - then so soon!
"The Law decrees;this cannot b...."
Suddenly a brick from the left side of the wall ejected, smacking Little Red Riding Hood in the temple
"Let the stoning commence," said the decorative ceiling.
Tom scrambled 4 his life as the castle began 2 collapse. He yelled 4 "whoever's up there" 2 save him,but... He screamed "Huck Finn,what have U gotten me into? Aunt Sawyers going 2 kill me - if Ur stupid castle doesn't!"

2 avoid being beaten 2 death by ancient construction he leap frogged out a stain glass window. "Hey, "he thought 2 himself,
"that was a picture of Baby Cakes n Huck Fin kissing" Now what was his best man doing tonguing his best woman?! He would surely get 2 the bottom of this. Warrior style he grit n gnashed his teeth.

"Rapunzel! HELP!!!"

Now swimming in strawberry scented seas, she looked in the direction her name echoed from.
"Zell...Zell...Zell...Zelllll"

Laying warm eyes on Tom huddled over n huffing n puffin n seeing the historical site crumbling all around him, she sprang into action.
Hurriedly she gathered all her hair into her arms. Next like an Olympic discus thrower she spun in 3 valiant circles, then threw her golden carpet onto dry land.
"hurry, Get on!
"I'll save U!
Then abruptly, "look out behind U!"
The once friendly gargoyle now lurked towards Tom,dagger in hand. "Adulterer!"
As the weapon of choice was about 2 plunge inside him Tom scurried n grabbed 4 a piece of the getaway rope, albeit a lock of sunshiny strands. "Pull! Damn it! Pull!"
Adrenaline filled, Rapunzel tugged a great tug which then landed tom in the water with her.
"Where's Mrs. Sawyer?"
"U mean Mrs. Finn!?, he said with a hint of vengeance.

The End

ANOTHER STORY (circa 2017)

When I seen her wandering through the woods, I had idea what her Name was:didn't care. It was truly love at 1st sight. Her 20 pound white paper skin, scented of the tress she was cut from. A tree I had previously marked with my cologne.
But that's another story.
Any who, when Lil Ms Red came through my territory I figured "she loves me;she loves me not;she loves Me?!?" My original intent was 2 propose 2 her - right there on the spot. Unbeknowst 2 U all I even had my best man picked out. Yup! My nepher, Lil Wolfy. Sadly he would b killed days prior 2 Lil Ms Red's arrival.
I can't believe they did that 2 him. All he wanted 2do was take a selfie with the hunters, 2 post on his Facebook - he was friendly like that, ask Jack the Lumberjack.
Anyways, those mean ole hunters got 2 tripping n shot him 41 times! I mean damn - once is enuff - u think. Then they posted the picture on Faebook n even went on GMA. Even got a movie n a book deal worth millions. Meanwhile all I got was a million tears... Lost my besty n no one outside the wild world gives 2 wolves! N... matter fact.. Cut the camera off!!!

OK. I'm back.... Sorry... Wolves cry 2 u know. Its the "Call of the wild" 2 the men of the world, I feel ya. Having 2 suppress ur tears,night n day,day n night! Give urself a break a let it all out. Wash ur face while ur at it.
Anyway, right when I thought of Popping the question, my heavy heart doubted that our interspecies union would b acceptable. Yet I fought it. Granny told me she was cool with it n "if people can't accept it - that's on them. U just love my precious grandbaby 4 all its worth. That'll turn her red 4 sure!"
Man, I miss Granny. She cool people, unlike them hunters! Oh u didn't know me n her was air tight! How I think I knew where she stay?
All I'm saying is - pay attention 2 the unwritten details when u read.
I ain't the bad guy. My big eyes help me see better.
Truth b told I wasn't bout 2 eat Lil Ms Red. I was playing a joke on her. Figured it'll ease the tension.
What? U never seen Punk'd?
N we would've lived happily ever after had those dumb hunters not jumped the gun.
A wolf can't have no fun these days...
If u want the real story - don't believe me - ask Granny
U can find her book

The End

5th AVE (circa 2017)

In times n seasons appointed "T" which was short 4 T-shirt, traveled along the aisle of the sweatshop on the way 2 his guy Goody house.
"So how goes it?" Hoody inquired opening hte door
"Its going great. How bout urself?"
"Couldn't b better. I'm just jogging suit!"
"PLay on words. I get it
" But speaking of Jogging suits - what's up with that bodascious red one across the way?"
Putting his Walkman inside his pocket Hoody responded,"I don't have the slightest clue. Think her n Polo had a falling out. I could b wrong but cares.
"In this life a stitch in time, saves 9. So if I was U I'd b in hot pursuit."
"Yeah u right. T-shirts go better with jogging suits anyway"
"My sentiments exactly."
"Hey let's go 2 her house. 2day is the day I finally ask her out. I'm threw chasing Lil black dresses. Time 2 settle down in the top drawer n start a family."
"I feel u man,but let's head out fore my moms starts tripping. U know she know how 2 come up with all kinds of chores 4 me 2 do - wit ur help of course!"

Using the nearest basket, they drove all the way 2 the west side of town. Pulling along side the brown wicker building, they hopped uot.
"This is it."
"R u sure?"
"Man, would I lie 2 U?"
"I guess....not. Just... who would've thought that something so beautiful would be confined 2 such a defunct crib."
"I blame her evil step Dad," Hoddy explained while looking around the side of the house. "Reverse psychology at its finest. I mean who's brave enuff 2 risk they life 4 one Lil Red Jogging Suit?
"I know u thinking Polo. But that's cause his family has money. Told the evil step Dad he could get him a life long job at the stadium. The rest is bought n sold."
Just as T was about 2 land his knuckles on the door, the hamper flew open. "What the hell y'all want?"
Running T n Hoody hid behind the closest tin garbage can. "Get outta here stupid cat!"
"Shhhhhhhh," Hoody motioned.
"Know I can see u cowards. Man up. Show urselves!!"
With arms up,they came out from hiding.
"My mama knows where I am," exclaimed Hoody,"so u better not try anything funny!"
"Yeah. Mines 2!"
Hair dryer in his hand, Rosco the motorcycle jacket, barked, "Give me one good reason Y I shouldn't blow u both away?"
"Because - Look over there! Its a loose thread!" T exclaimed.
The moment Rosco turned T n Hoody ran 4 their fabricated lives. Refusing 2 look back,they ran the mile like a pair of Sketchers, even ran past a pair of Sketchers named,Black n Yellow. Spotting a laundry mat they dashed inn his inside a washing machine.
What they do that 4?
B4 they could exit Trench Coat piled clothes, filthy funky ones on top of them,added liquid detergent,closed the lid,added 5 quarters 2 the coin slot,thenfinally hit "spin".
When the whirling stopped, T n Hoody found themselves falling n landing in the middle of a hip hop concert.
As their heart were still pounding,hypnotic beats pounded from the surround sound. N their ear drums were pounded with chants,screams,n yells of "Sox-n-Draws! Sox-n-Draws! Sox-n-Draws!"
The platinum selling duo hit the stage. N wouldn't u know it,there was a Red Jogging Suit singing back up!
Determined, T ran through the crowd n threw himself on stage n pledged his lifetime warranty 2 Red Jogging Suit, if she would accept his sleeve in marriage.
She did n they went on 2 b a hit on 5th Ave.
