Please, take a number and
be seated in the waiting

We'll call you when we need you.

						Love is

We have here, two marmosettes.
The one is female and is
in heat.  We will now withdraw
the divider which keeps the
male in his own cage.  Let us
watch and observe what happens.
            pause,
the mouse scurried up the clock.
                   love is hate.
clock struck one and down he run.
     yes, fascinating, isn't it?
             plod.
Tell it to the judge, asshole!
--it's not what you were thinking
(it is how you were feeling)
