Scary Gary by Mark Buford for July 29, 2023

Or maybe he has…

“As a matter of fact, I have and that was a major matter of consideration.”

Gary puts on the music, strolls to the center of the dance floor, starts doing the robot, and singing like so….

It’s just your jive talkin’

I move to the beat, yeah

Jive talkin’

Just look at my feet

Jive talkin’

I move in slow jerks, yeah

Jive talkin’

Just watch my butt twerk

Leopold

You’ll never know

Just how you’re mean to me

Green Gremlin

You jab so much

You’re gonna take away my energy

With all your jive talkin’

Making fun of my weight, yeah

Good putdowns

I can’t get a date

I no longer believe what you say

It’s just your jive talkin’

That gets in the way

Oh Henchman

You’re so good

Treating Travis cruel

There you go

With your torturing

Leaving him looking

Like a dumbstruck fool

With all your

Jive talkin’

Telling Beatrice lies

For the 50 foot woman

You wear a disguise

You hate Owen

Cuz he’s misunderstood, yeah

Jive talkin’

You just ain’t no good

And that’s why you weren’t invited!

That’s the point Gary! No one does “jive talkin robot” any more…

YES, he has……

Leopold, you gotta admit, it would have been good for a laugh! Then, afterwards, you could tell him everyone is playing Hide-n-Seek, and tell him to hide, but never look for him. Another laugh! And at the end of the night, Gary will think he is the best little hider ever! With any luck, he’ll stay hidden for a few days.

And thankful for it, Leopold replies….
