Woe played by _ and featuring _. [ ] [ ] This year is no different. Trouble is my name, and woe is my game. Constantly being outwitted, this time I am going to get even, if it kills me. Naturally, things got off on the wrong foot to begin with, was casually looking at the month of December and noticed the date of the 25th was missing. That’s all I need. Was planning to go downtown Brooklyn and do some shopping at the department stores on Fulton St. I know I can find what I need to outwit my nemesis.
Problem is with the date missing, who’s to know we are celebrating a holiday. I bet it’s the governments doing, just to be cute. One less holiday. I have a funny feeling it’s that character who likes to fool with my mind. Probably got his pals from the Sopranos to help him pull it off. Look at all these folks, so happy and jubilant, the spirit of the holiday on their faces, not me. The original sourpuss incarnate. Well, here is my favorite company. Let me go to that special department, where I know I can get just the set of presents to foil and once for all put my antagonist away for good.
Let’s see, a couple of those, a few of these, yes that looks good, and a few extra feet of this , oh, and that looks plenty heavy. Now for some really nice wrapping paper, he’s going to just love this, I’m going to sign the cards “ an loving admirer” . That should put him off guard a bit. Gives me a chance to set everything up, and be my crowning achievement.
Christmas Eve, looks like he is home, time to go to work. If I can just get up on the roof and to the chimney, and send his presents right down into his fireplace. He should get a nice bang out of them. Ok, just a little squeeze into the chimney, so I can lower his loving gifts. Oops, what was that click I heard????
Va VA VOOM!!!!!! BAM!! (small mushroom cloud appears).
Why am I 10 blocks away from his home., and smoke coming from my body??
Can’t win. WOE is my name, and that’s the end of this game.
