Some more on sarsaparilla. Right now, it's not going anywhere; it's just going. Maybe another round or so and we'll get someplace. Meantime, enjoy the ride. I need to get back to the pronunciation thing. And who put that extra "a" in there? No-one pronounces THAT!

...
You look now like
The miner who,
In a well-loved episode
Of "The Brady Bunch,"
Locks the kids
In a ghost-town jail
Or maybe you're
an extra from "The
Beverly Hillbillies,"
Cousin Lou or Uncle
Jim Bob, escaped
To visit the family
In gosh-almighty
Hollywood, or
Maybe you've only
Grown young,
Impossibly so, 16
Or 17, smiling
To beat all hell
With your summer
Job smile, while
Your friends are
Working as cashiers
Or at the back lot
Of the Ford
Dealership, you
Needed the limelight
And now you're
Dancing in overalls
For sweaty tourists
In a Hershey Park
production called
The Sarsaparilla Revue.
