Alpaca

The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on.
I saw that digit yesterday, encroaching on my lawn.
Begone, begone I cried aloud,
Thou foul and evil thing –
And then before a dewdrop formed, a telephone did ring.

Telegirl: (lovely voice, fish fry in the cookpot of mid-afternoon fantasy – she knows your name, although it is not to be revealed just yet.)  Alpacas are the animals that are changing your life today!

Poet: Okay.

T: Okay!

P: I think you dialed the wrong…

T: Did you know that Dick Cheney has invested heavily in the alpaca industry? The alpaca industry is the future of the future!

P: Aren’t alpacas kind of like some sort of a sweater?

T: A sweater? A goldmine is more like it!

P: Are you calling locally?

T: Here, take a look at these wonderful animals!

P: Because if it was a local call, I was thinking… you know, I can’t see HTML Over the phone… Good lord! What the hell are those things?

T: Alpacas!

P: Are they good?

T: Yes, very, very good.

P: Tasty, huh? Well, let me try ordering a couple of steaks, mmm, and maybe half a dozen chops.

T: You have to cut them yourself.

P: Oh.

T: You would have to go to Peru or somewhere to find them in steak format.

P: Oh.

T: Sorry.

P: So, like do you grow alpacas your self?

T: It’s the best thing I’ve ever done!

P: Really?

T: I’d call them a huggable investment!

P: Let me check my wallet…
