What She Wants

by Bill Schott

"I'm not sure meeting like this was a good idea."

"Not to worry, Polly. No one we know comes out to this lake. I got us these seats around the bend as well."

"Still... If my friends from the aviary saw us, they may get the wrong impression."

"You have something in your beak."

"Sorry. I didn't have time to glance in a still pond."

"It looks like a piece of road kill or something. Let me get it."

"Wayne! No! If someone saw!"

"Then they would know...we are in love."

"Did you get it?"

"Yes, Polly. It's a piece of possum meat and hair. Tastes -- good."

"Ohhhh Wayne."

"Polly."

"Wayne!"

"Polly!"

"Wayne? I'm hungry."

"Hungry for love?"

"No. Something crisp and salty."

"Well, Polly...want a cracker?"
