Hello my chickadees
It's a given that I'm totally bananas. What if you put me in a room
with another crazy woman from OZ and an alcoholic crocodile called Cyril who wears Armani
suits occasionally ? Um...this actually...
Tee ... Soooz, welcome! and
Cyril of course. It's lovely to have you both here.
Soooz ...Thanks,
Tee. It's been a while. I'm delighted to be here.
Cyril ... I'm wearing
Armani. Will there be Pictures?
Tee ... Well, no, Cyril.
However, there will be many interesting questions.
Cyril ... I could
have just worn jeans. I thought we would at least have one picture of me.
Soooz ... Cyril! ...
You promised me that you would behave.
Tee ... You do look very
fetching, Cyril and I’m sure we’ll be able to include a picture of you
somewhere.
Cyril ... Of course I
do, but I don't fetch. I'm not a canine, unless it's food of course or ...
alcohol.
Tee ... Let's get down to the
questions, shall we?
Soooz ... Ask away
Tee.
Cyril ... Sigh. If we
must.
Tee ... So, Soooz, what have
you been writing recently?
Soooz ... I've had a
marvelous time, writing Mystery/Suspense Thrillers...all with heavy
psychological overtones.
Cyril ... Not one of
them includes me. I'm mysterious and thrilling, and heavy on the Psycho.
Tee ... Um ... yes. Cyril
perhaps you would like to recline on that sofa over there while you digest your
lunch. So, Soooz, tell us a little more about your latest book.
Soooz ... It revolves
around serial murders.
Cyril ... I need a
drink. Make it beer.
Tee ... I have Merlot. Will
that suffice?
Cyril ... Is that
booze?
Tee ... Booze? Well, yes, yes
it is.
Cyril ... So, are you
going to join me, you little English person?
Tee ... I'd be delighted.
Cyril ... Great! Make
mine a pint.
Soooz ... I don't think
that's such a great idea, Cyril. I need you to behave.
Tee ... Oh I'm sure he'll be
fine.
Cyril ... I'm
beginning to warm to this woman.
Tee ... Thank you,
Cyril. You’re pretty cute yourself.
Cyril ... Yes, I am. Hey, this
stuffs not bad. Merlin huh?
Tee ... It's, Merlot,
actually.
Cyril ... Seriously?
... So what was Arthur's real name?
Tee ... Arthur?
Cyril ... Okay, so
that stays the same. Why did they change the name of the Wizard?
Tee ... The Wizard?
Cyril ... Hello! I
thought you were from England?"
Tee ... I am indeed.
Cyril ... Aren't you
lot the people that started that entire 'Sword in the Stone' thingy?
Tee ... "Camelot?"
Cyril ... I thought
you said it was Merlot Merlin. Anyways we spell it differently. It's Come not
Came.
Soooz ... Cyril!
Enough already!
Tee ... Oh, my. You are
wicked, Cyril.
Cyril ... Let's raise
a Merlin to wickedness!
Tee ... I, well ... it is
early, however, you are my guest, so one more won't hurt.
Cyril ... I'll drink
to that! Hell, I'll drink to anything, just name it!
Soooz ... You'll always
drink to any damned thing, Cyril.
Cyril ... That’s what
I just said. And who forgot to take her Xanax this morning?
Soooz ... And just
who got me started on needing Xanax?
Cyril ... See, you
take so much of the stuff you can't remember!
Tee ... Oh, my word!
Cyril ... Your words
good enough for me, precious. Another drinky?
Tee … Thank you Cyril I don’t mind if I do.
Cheers! How did you get through customs by the way?
Cyril … I
disguised myself as a shoulder bag and Soooz carried me through.
Soooz ... Shoulder
bags are not meant to talk back, Cyril! That customs officer was very
suspicious. I thought I was going to get stopped.
Cyril … She was quite cute. I wouldn’t have
pushed her off my dinner plate.
Soooz … Cyril!! I thought I had cured you of
that.
Cyril … Old habits die hard. I often fancy the
odd human leg or arm at times. In fact Tee looks quite tasty if I’m honest.
Tee …
Soooz … Cyril do I have to remind you that
we’re guests here? Now lay there quietly while I talk to Tee.
Cyril …
Tee … Now Soooz where were we? Oh yes psychological
thrillers, mystery and suspense. Tell me more about it while Cyril’s asleep.
Soooz … Well,
they appear to be about the FBI chasing down a serial killer, who…
Cyril ... A cereal,
killer. Grunt...what did they use? A spoon.
Tee ...
Oh you are a caution, Cyril.
Soooz ... Now there's an apt description.
Cyril ...Yes, I
am descriptive. Um...what's descriptive?
Tee ... The ability to describe.
Cyril ... Oh, yeah... they took away my license
to do that. Now I have to go to a real Doctor.
Soooz ... Cyril!
You know damned well what the difference is between described and prescribed.
Cyril ... Two letters of the alphabet?
Tee ... I don't quite, follow.
Cyril ... Yes, I've always been more of a leader
myself.
Tee ... Yes,
well...moving right along, Soooz you were saying?
Soooz ... I was endeavoring to say...
Cyril ... I know that
one! It was the ship that Captain Crook used to discover Australia!
Tee ... That would
be Cook, Cyril dear.
Cyril ... I don't
care what it would be. It just is.
Tee ... I think I
may need another glass of Merlin...er ... Merlot!
Cyril ... Bottoms up, precious. Or any other
part of your cute British anatomy.
Soooz ... Cyril,
you are going to drive me to drink...again.
Cyril ...
Shortest trip ever!
Tee ... I see, um, let's try to get back on
track, shall we?
Cyril ... I'm so
good at tracking. Even though I'm not a dog.
Soooz ... My apologies, Tee.
Cyril ... And so you should.
Soooz ... I swear, I'm going to have you made
into a shoulder bag!
Cyril ... Oh! That wasn't a nice thing to say
to, the-oh-so- cute British Person! I may just need another pint or so of
Merlin to recover!
Soooz ... Oh, crap! I give in.
Cyril ... Apparently very easily. But of course,
that may be just a nasty rumour.
Tee ... Oh, dear.
Cyril ... Yes your right Tee. She charges quite
a bit, so I'm told.
Tee ... Perhaps
I should wrap this up?
Cyril ... Oh, gift wrapping! A present for, moi?
You really should have. I like the Merlin. A dozen or so bottles may see me
through till breakfast.
Soooz ... Tee, my dear, I'll just send you the
links shall I? I think I had better leave, now.
Before I do something, I'll regret. I would love it, if you could do the same.
I think I will need something on the plane to take my mind off committing
Homicide.
Cyril ... <Singing off key>...'Regrets
I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.
Tee ... Oh, really? Well dear, if you really, really,
must. I'm going to have another, Merlin, or six.
Cyril ... Still singing...'Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew, when I bit off more
than I could chew. But through it all when there were doubts, I'd eat it up and
spit it out." Oh ... I'd never
spit! It's just so uncouth.
Tee … Quite
right too Cyril. It’s illegal to spit in the street in England.
Cyril … I love
the English Tee. I think you should come back with us.
Tee … Oh Cyril
you’re so cute when you’re being nice.
Soooz … That’s a
first for Cyril. Maybe I’ll leave him here and save myself the hassle of
traveling back with him.
Cyril … You don’t
love me any more! I’m crushed you know I love you more than I love myself.
Besides you taste better.
Tee … More
Cyril Merlot? … Er… I mean more Merlot Cyril?
Cyril … Lovely Tee and make it a bottle this time will ya. It saves
keep stopping for refills.
Soooz … Well I
think that just about wraps it up Tee.
Tee … Is he ok
Soooz?
Soooz … He’ll be
fine. Now how about your links?
Tee … Here they
are.
Cyril … …. It's a beautiful night,
we're looking for something dumb to do. Hey Tee, I think I wanna
marry you. Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice? Who cares baby, I
think I wanna marry you….
Soooz …
It’s ok Tee he’s drunk. He won’t remember.
Tee … Oh great! The only marriage proposal I
get in years and it’s from a drunken croc.
Soooz …
Don’t take it personally Tee. He proposes to the postie back home on a regular
basis.
Tee … What’s she like?
Soooz …
He’s got a beard and his name is Johno! Well we’d better make our way to that
plane. I’ll hoist him back on my shoulder and hope to god he doesn’t wake up.
I’ll feed him some of my Xanax. That should keep him out of it especially with
all the Merlot he’s consumed.
As I waved them goodbye I did wonder if I would ever see
that cute little reptile in the Armani suit again. I suppose there’s always
Skype to fall back on.

Attempting to type this whilst that monster is sleeping off the crate of Merlot you sent him. We were delayed at customs, sigh! Cyril tried to give snout to mouth to some poor woman who fainted at the sight of him chasing a very attractive piece of luggage around the terminal.
Try explaining THAT to border security.
Please send bail.
Soooz you are suited to comedy :-)
Bail should arrive by nightfall xx
Sooze, Raymond keeps saying,'When are you going to write a sequel to +Dudes Down Under?' I'd like to read it too! Please do it to keep him quiet!
(Don't know how I managed to miss this post at the right time!)
A sequel to Dudes? Omg...I can't let Cyril see this. He's been at me for sooo long to write him a sequel. Hmm ... maybe I can fit it in between the other three books I'm currently writing.......eeek! What If I get them confused. Cyril could end up in the WhiteHouse...still, that may be a better option to that 'Trump' person. Sigh.
Love the humor! I really enjoyed this!
Thanks so much, HoneyBee. Some folks just don't understand my Cyril. I mean, seriously, what's not to understand about an alcoholic cross-dressing big mouthed Crocodile...on xanax. Sigh!
