Prologue see, do you see? Judy and Punch are shopping Like the loving couple they are they are at it together
Action! Punch puts in a carton of beer into the trolley And Judy hauls it out immediately and puts it back on the shelf – It’s too expensive, honey says Judy. $50 a carton, that’s too much money
Now Judy is in the “Beauty” section and picks a Beauty Pack for $100 and Punch protests immediately: That’s what’s too much money!
Oh, but you do want me to look beautiful, darling – don’t you? says Judy, with a smile
Yeah, sweetheart, but half the price would have done the trick! says Punch, with a counter-smile
Epilogue** Now, what do you think happens after Punch’s punch line? Do you think Judy makes the literal and the metaphorical merge? Are the stars Punch sees literal or figurative, you think?
...the final poem in this series on this silly season...I shall not detain you any longer with these tales, for we must all go celebrate...
