The Ideas By John and Norm Said John to Norman one fine day, "I feel the urge to write a play; and then to put it on the stage. Yes, sir, Norm, I think I may." Said Norm to John in gay reply, "Why don't you go and make a try? Tho' really I think 'twould be best For you to let this urge go by. "So stick instead to something gory, Like, perhaps, a Catin story. Don't go to yet another field, I hate to think what you would yield." "Okay, I'll try it your way, Prt; I'll keep on drawing, my new art." "Oh, John," says Norm in mock dismay, "Have you ever thought of writing a play?" It was just for fun. Norm seems to have let up on teasing me about my last one, so I thought I'd give him some fressh materieal. (Like, for example, my lousy typing.) Well, Monsters, I've finally rebuttled. Your turn at bat. John [pg. 18, MERK-MAG #2, Spring 1966]
