Billy Mays

Mockery

Timothy, a true mockingbird,  could imitate anyone, Vladimir Putin, Ronald Reagan, Billy Mays, Madonna,  any of the British royals, Lady Gaga . . . anyone.  He was growing frantic, though; if he didn’t develop a style of his own, he’d be condemned to B list hotel lounges doing Elvis, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Jones requests for drunk tourists and road warriors for the rest of his life . . .

Mesmerized

Jimmy and Sandie, while touring Washington DC, heard a persuasive voice blaring from a portable sound system.  The speaker’s delivery was so mesmerizing that they just couldn’t tear themselves away.  When they finally got clear and tried to analyze what they had heard they agreed that it had sounded good at the time, but in retrospect they were uncertain as to just what was said.  They were trying to decide if the speaker was a televangelist, a politician, or Billy Mays, back from the dead . . . . .  David, Sf.G.
