Scene at a Animal Shelter

by Bill Schott

Ned and Pons meet at a Humane Society shelter. Ned: Thanks for comin' down here, Pons. Pons: You said you were thinking of getting a kitten, so I thought I could help you pick one out. Ned: Well they got a passel of 'em we can eyeball right through this here winnder. Pons: Wow! There seems to be about a dozen of them. Ned: I'd say half was boys and half was ain't boys. Pons: You mean girls? Ned: Well, Pons, girls is people, not kitty cats. Pons: But you just said half were boys. Aren't boys people? Ned: You think there’s cat people, Pons? Pons: Cat people? Ned: You askin' me, or tellin' me? Pons: What? Ned: I'm just gonna say I don't believe there’s no cat people, Pons. You can think what you want. Pons: I don't think there are -- Ned: Hey! That there one's acallin' my name. Pons: Sounds like it’s saying 'mew'. Ned: Maybe that’s my cat name. Pons: Your cat name? Ned: Sure. Cats got their own langage, Pons. Pons: So, what you're saying is that all these kittens are saying, 'Ned -- Ned -- Ned'. Ned: 'Course not, Pons. That'd be pretty hard to swaller. Pons: Aren't they all saying the same thing? Ned: Dang, Pons! You musta woked up a bit dumb this mornin'. Pons: Is that it? Well, I'm here. You might have something. Ned: I think I'll get the one what's talkin' to me. Pons: Which one was that again? Ned: The boy'n, Pons. Sheesh! Pons: Aren't there six boy kittens? Ned: Sure, but there’s only one what's sayin' 'Ned'. Pons: Which one was that again? Ned looks at Pons and shakes his head, as if pitying him. Ned:  Let me ask you a question, Cuz.  If one a these kittens were sayin', 'Pons! Pons!', wouldn't you think that were somethin' to consider?  Pons:  I would be flabbergasted and would likely call Ripley's Believe It or Not. Ned:  Oh, I believe it, Pons. By the way, Ms. Ripley passed a few years back. She were hard a hearin' too. Might be that one a her cats might be interested. Pons: Huh? Ned: Just kiddin' you, Pons. Them cats prob'ly don't care none. Pons can only stare at Ned for a moment then nod slightly to the affirmative. Pons: I'm sure you're right, Ned. Ned:  Spec’ly if you used that word 'flavvercasted'.    Write A Review Pays one point and 2 member cents. You need to login or register to write reviews. It's quick!
