2. Forever in blue jeans.



3. Cherry, Cherry



4.Stones would play inside her head

6. Surviving the Life

How about a paragraph or two using these lines from Neil Diamond songs?
Dodge City, Kansas

Circa 1876



"Surviving The Life"



Kitty Russell was sitting at a table with Doc and Festus in the Long Branch, when U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon walked in.

Kitty:"Hello, Matt. Come on over and join us......Sam? Bring Matt a beer, would you, please?"

Matt was reluctant, but went ahead and took a seat. Ever since he had broken off their romantic relationship, Kitty had trurned to the bottle. Her behavior had become very......... Shall we say irrational and somewhat vicious. Today, however, she appeared to be normal.

Matt:"Hello, all. Nice to see you looking so well, Kitty." And the thing is, he truely meant this. He had no desire to hurt Kitty. However, he had fallen in love with Sunshine MacGillicutty and he had no intention of ever returning to Kitty in a romantic circumstance.

Kitty:"So....How are things going? How's Sunshine?"

Matt was pleasantly surprised that Kitty had inquired.

Matt:"She's fine....and thank you for asking."



Doc:"Matt. Festus here, has been telling all about his brother's interest in music....Fascinating dialogue!! " Everyone laughed.

Festus:"Matthew, I was jest a'tellin' Miss Kitty and this old 'sawbones' about brother Jethro's love of gospel music. (5.) Brother loves traveling salvation show music.....It really gets his feet a' tappin'. " He took another sip of his beer and looked around.

Doc:"WELL?!"

Festus: "Well what?!"

Doc:"Well, what's the point of your story?"

Festus:"There ain't no point, you old scutter. Can't a body have a little conversation without you being so danged onery?!"



Matt and Kitty laughed and smiled affectionately at their two old friends.

Their laughter was interrupted when Lola, Kitty's new "girl," walked through the doors. As you may recall in an earlier story of mine, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;... she had decided that Matt Dillon was someone she wanted to pursue.

Lola had timed her entrance perfectly......"Well.....Hello all........

I've been practicing a dance number that I'd like to do, tonight, Miss Kitty. Here....Let me show it to you:

Matt blushed. Doc spit out his beer. Festus started choking !

Festus: "(3)CHERRY! CHERRY," he gasped. Matt jumped up and performed the Heimlich maneuver !!

Kitty screamed at Lola:"Get back upstairs and put on some clothes....THIS INSTANT!!" She knew what Lola was up to. Kitty could barely stand losing Matt to Sunshine. She was not about to sit there and watch yet ANOTHER woman get his attention!!



Matt was able to dislodge the fruit in Festus' throat. Once he started breathing more normally, things settled down again.

Everyone's attention returned to Lola and her ...... dancing.

Kitty:"Doc....If you could examine that skull of hers I think you would discover that (4.)Stones would play inside her head instead of brains !"

Doc rubbed his face....."I wouldn't mind examining her." Everyone stared at him. "WHAT?! You asked if I would examine her and I said 'yes.' Geeze!" He took another sip of his beer and stood up.............."Well, that's enough excitement for one day. I'm off! Festus, why don't you come up to my office with me. I'll give you a little something to soothe your throat. I might even examine YOUR skull and see if I can find any stones!!"



Kitty sat there, staring at Matt. She was still carrying a torch for the handsome lawman......."Matt? You've changed so much. Ever since Sunshine blew into town and stole you from me, you're not the same. Even your clothes are different. You used to wear those old brown pants. Now you're(2). Forever in blue jeans. True, you do look VERY good in them, but......Why didn't you ever wear them when you were with me? Huh?!" She took her bottle of Randy Scouse Git Rotgut from her purse and had a long gulp. "And another thing......

(1) You don't bring me flowers anymore. What's up with THAT??!! Oh yeah......... That's right. We don't date anymore. And it's ALL because of that jerk from Virginny!!!" She took another swig of rotgut and stood up, flailling her arms !!

"Curses on you, Sunshine Mac-HUSSY!!!

Curses I say! MUAWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!"

Matt quietly got up, shook his head, and started to leave.

Kitty:"Where do you think YOU'RE going ?!"



He mounted his horse and slowly headed out to Sunshine's farm. Matt muttered to himself.....

"(6) Surviving the Life of a Marshal in Dodge City is not an easy task." Then he smiled........"It is definitely time to get home to my Sunshine." He urged his horse to pick up the pace!
Reply:Thank YOU for choosing me.

Hey, Matt?! Nana says "hi."

In his baritone voice......."Well, hello, nana.Sunny and I hope you have a happy day with those adorable younguns." Report It
Reply:I am surviving life,you don't bring me flowers anymore, Well I am going to live forever in bluejeans and have cherry, cherry,Stones don't play in her head,her brother loves traveling salvation show.And that is what I am going to do
Reply:Let me tell you a story about a gal names cherry. She was nice, quiet and worked very hard, just Surviving the life she was given. She worked so hard because the man of her dreams that she married several years ago turned out to be a lazy bum. He used to be sweet and kind, but now all he did was drink beer and bark orders at the woman who supported him.

Cherry, none the less worked very hard to keep things together. She had a brother. Her Brother loves the Traveling Salvation Show. This was a local band and on this day a Cherry walked home Stones would play inside her head. Which is one of the Traveling Salvation Shows best songs.

This song spoke about rising up and putting an end to all the wrongs in your life. Cherry felt it was time for her to make a change.

When she got home she was greeted with a drunk angry husband who yelled "Cherry , Cherry get in to that kitchen and fix me some dinner." Cherry did what she was told but this night she added a special ingredient. Now her husband will remain in the back yard. Cherry laughs every day at the fact that she used to say to her husband "you don't bring me flowers anymore". How ironic since he will remain there under the flower bed, Forever in blue jeans.
Reply:I met her at Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show. She was looking to turn herself around, feeling that she was just Surviving the Life she had chosen for herself, not enjoying it. Maybe she'd been on drugs, because it got so bad, she told me, that Stones Would Play Inside Her Head. "Cherry, Cherry," I told her, "you're a really beautiful woman." But she was immune to my compliments, and the gifts didn't help either. "You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore," she complained when my presents stopped. "Oh well," I said, "I tried. I'll always think of you as I first saw you at the show: Forever In Blue Jeans.
