Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 22, 2022

{fade to black}

Ah, poor Norton, when he looks in the mirror, he doesn’t even recognize himself.

isn’t that “megalomania” ?

Norton brain was starved for oxygen a couple of years ago…now this.

Hm, the streetlight is in front of him, but his shadow indicates that he is lighted from behind.

At least he’s under a light. He’d be a prime target standing in the street.

Maybe he’s channeling Jimmy Durante. Good night Mrs. McGillacutty, wherever you are.

The light of Norman’s life

With the “spotlight” on him, the sound of crickets is like a round of applause. This is his third night this week – with an encore and standing ovation.

TAAAAH DAAAAH!

A shadow always does what you tell it do and never talks back. Always a loyal friend.

Maybe starved for recognition.. but looking at the width of his butt Norton is far from starving.

And soon… Mrs. Higglepooder uses “The Hook”…

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

I like Norton’s St. Louie Side Step Shuffle.

Then you walk into the next pool of light and take another bow, until you pass over the horizon. :)

I see the problem Norton.

You’re normal …

… and this is Ballard St
