the stage is set with inflatable pool toys and grass is growing in the orchestra pit. frosty youth in swimming goggles pee off the catwalk.

swimmers in early 20th century yellow bathing suits dive for pennies at the 10-foot marker, while, in the foreground, fat mr. starns, wearing only striped shorts, sits in white wicker eating green gelatin. between every bite he pauses to laugh heartily, which sends his stomach a-glow. we see the green gelatin shake in the pink veiny glow of his belly as he laughs. the glow fades again as and mr. starns takes another bite of gelatin.

mr. starns:(pointing with fork; his mouth is full) under the dimbly cucumber parasols are mint and mustarde and paul and penelope. today they are sitting at opposite ends of the pool.

cut to: penelope sitting on the edge of the pool, reciting dylan thomas through an electric white megaphone to paul. paul is smiling dewily and clinging to the ladder. cue twilight.

punchline: presently, this is frustratingly pituresque.

but ma, it was scratchin' at the window!
