A rollicking Springtime Musical

Picaro & Barbara, The Musical

Cast of characters:
Movie the narwhale
Picaro, the feral pig
Barbara

The setting:
A wading pool in the Joshua Tree Forest, next to a tree named Joshua.
Picaro and Joshua sing and dance about a twirling Barbara. Movie accompanies the frolicking with his musical tusk.

Picaro: Ciao, baby. Yo llama el Que Pasa Pig!
Movie: Stop speaking Squid. You ain’t doing it right.
Barbara: Oh, but I love Picaro’s atrocious French accent!

Laughter erupts from surrounding trees.

Joshua sniggers weakly and topples due to a violent termite infestation.

Joshua: Ahhhh…
Movie: Hey, what’s his problem? No shade!
Picaro: Ciao baby. Burrito! Asta yo mamma, bueno nachos!
Barbara: titter.
Picaro: Hey, get your own girl, you ******* pigs!

Silence, the irony is too obscure for the trees.

Barbara: Oh, Picaro, you are so vulgar.

She sings of springtime and pollen.

Barbara cries and flings herself into the arms of a waiting Joshua tree.

Curtains close.

Clicking on the pictures wasn't giving a good result, but i have figured out what i was doing wrong, and now the picture(and future pictures) will show up much larger... phew!

I think if this ever goes to a film festival it won't be Cannes, but maybe Can of Corn...

btw, achoo, thanks.
