Conduit For Sale! |
| Imagine if you will Herr Proctor, alias a nobleman, son of son of scion |
| Scion. |
| Part of his rich inheritance, parcel in generous |
| Forklift beam. |
| Certain plots of land and living quarters deemed by all |
| Gentlemen, and wives thereof, to be grossly humane and frankly, quite |
| I’m tryin', I’m tryin'… |
| Herr Proctor, in his enviable good taste, tries quick escape gambit via local |
| Periodicals, but no takers. |
| The land was stationed in a conduit |
| Between two cells, a veritable no-man's-land, [rain, the flophouse, cog- |
| Bone terrors] and carbon monoxide wallpaper. |
| All |
| Boys ask: is it livable? |
| I’m tryin', I’m tryin'… |
| Unable to bear the scandal, Ray, philanthropist, rents low-down scab |
| House in conduit, Herr Proctor offers said land for a song, but no one |
| Wants to sing. |
| In an attempt to maintain social privileges, yet mask it as |
| Goodwill, he says to the conduit members, 'Take this rotten old tree and |
| Make it bear fruit."Cheers erupted throughout the settlement. An |
| Italian male was heard to say, «between here and there is better than |
| Anything over there!» |
