One misty morning Mogey and Smush were rowing down the canal on their way to get some personal pan pizzas. With very little warning, a troop of sea snails emerged from the water and slimed their way to the tip top of the canal wall. Once they were in position, the snails began honking. And as everyone knows, a troop of sea snails engaged in a honking ritual is something glorious to behold, so of course Mogey and Smush stopped to watch.
Directly behind the sea snails a gang of lobsters crawled ashore and began clicking their front claws (the crusher claw not the pincher) together in perfect rhythm with all the honking. But that's not all. On the opposite canal wall, eleven hundred and one sting rays began slapping their flippers against the old cobblestone, keeping time with the lobsters and the sea snails. Fourteen dozen artic terns landed on a nearby fence and added their calls to the burgeoning song.
Finally, a fat, hairless, remarkable clean-looking man wearing bermuda shorts floated by on his back, drumming on his stomach and singing along with the sea snails, the lobsters, the sting rays, and the artic terns. "Ohhhh baby, oh-oh, oh baby," his song went. Mogey and Smush got up and danced and danced until the lobsters pinched the fat hairless man, the seagulls ate the sea snails, and the sting rays slapped each other silly.
"Come on, Mogey," Smush said when it was quiet again. "There's a mushroom and anchovy 'za with my name on it."
