A Short Dialogue About a Long Book
Tweedle Dee exits the bathroom, A Tale of Two Cities in hand.
TWEEDLE DEE: I can’t believe I waited so long to read this. It’s sooo good.
TWEEDLE DUM: Dickens?
TWEEDLE DEE: Yeah. I just finished it. Sydney Carton is the best! He gave up his life for Darnay.
TWEEDLE DUM: Oh, yes. Sydney Carton. He became a big hero, and children all over the world wore his portrait around their necks. It was the first time a Carton appeared on the backs of children.
TWEEDLE DEE: …
Tweedle Dum smirks.
TWEEDLE DEE: That’s not very nice. Here you are making jokes, and I was so moved by the ending.
TWEEDLE DUM: I know. I heard you “moving” in the bathroom.
Tweedle Dee groans and buries face in both hands.
Exit stage left.

Hee! Is H.E. rechristened TWEEDLE DUM now?
"Tweedle Dee groans and buries face in both hands."
Groaners indeed! Are you sure it’s not spelled TWEEDLE DoH!@#
Now, I’ve never read that book. Is that strictly a in-the-can read?
geek. combining both literary AND poop humor in one post.
you’re funny. but definitely a geek.
Minnie: Not saying. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Parl: The Tweedles are actually a trio, and Tweedle Doh is the third.
Nikki: It’s slow-going. I recommend constipation or lots of fiber for reading.
Jim: I wonder now if I should have worked in a catchy football cheer.
