Let's Call It Puppy

by Bill Schott


Last practice before the school dance. Joannie's high notes on "White Rabbit" were just like Grace's. Fink was the best bassist in the school, and Zoe's riff on "In-a-gad-da-da-vi-da" was far out.  Now we needed an outta-sight name to win the student's hearts.

"Joannie!" I screeched. "We still need a name for the band."

"Let's call it Puppy," she replied, with the worst name ever.

Finkleman chimed in, "What about Hamburger?"

I asked Zoe's cousin, whom I'd never met, for the moniker.

"Blind Orange," she stated, without hesitation.

I automatically kissed her.  She kissed me back.  The rest is history.
