INTERVIEW WITH LADY BUG JOHNSON.



Beg pardon, man, but there are all kinds of Ladies!
Lady Di. Lady Day. Lady Bird. Guess there’s Larry Bird &
Big Bird, too. Lots of Birds. See this picture? That’s me
in my polka dot plastic blouse w/ the polka dots you-know-
where-hoo. Johnson’s not my real name, no, not at the moment.
On occasion I fancy that I’m the Lady who Lyndon B
passed up: Lyndon B & Lady Bug 4ever! 2gether! 6cess!
I like to describe my age as Advanced & my condition as Fair.
Do you know the Lady Bug?, it’s my dance, I still do it,
arms out like a hoot, hands on yr knees, make you see spots!
In regard to Lady Bird—did she eat seed? Did she have wings?
A beak? Beg pardon, man, but there are all kinds of Ladies!
I go as Ladybug, I go as Lady Bug, I sprinkle nutmeg
like a liberal, but a pinch, even on a glass of Sweet Lucy.

    Dan, Dan, Dan,

    Now you're going after such highly celebrated establishment characters as Lady Bird -- so I ask you, who's the [in your words] "TurnCoatOpoulos"?

    Anonymous: identify yourself, Holmes. Give a fake name!

    Gina:

    I would like to certify your comment as 100% typo free. A first. You must be learning something -- up where? -- in Enormous State University. I'm hoping that all is well with you, your mother, DAVE, and your dog, Rebar.

    Ah, WorldOpoulos,

    The only thing you're established at -- is last minute face-saving back-stabbing dashes-for-the-door. Do you belong to an 'establishment' of profiteers . . . selling secrets for personal gain? [Gateway] Secrets that land you on television? Shaka, Shaka, Shakapopoulos -- but it's good to hear from you, even if your comments are cold & heartless. [As per usual] in your form of punctuation.
