The Pluralist

 

Out of a jacket: ooh - oooh - oooh - hah - oh - O, said the
                     model.
Roarrrrrrrr, said the cinematographer; the editor called "cut that!"
The director objected so they wrapped it up for the night. Out of
                     the

Billiard pocket: coach said we gotta pull it tomorrow night. Center
Said I'll get us more rebounds. Guards said we'd have to get us
                     more
Three-pointers. Forwards objected so they wrapped it up for the
                     night

See? My pocket: shampoo was most expensive, even more expen-
                     sive than
The milk-powder -- as though you can drink designer Shampoo
                     (glamour
You can drink, though). Near closing time bought a gift for my
                     wife

With what remained. Lady objecting, "additional fee for the wrap-
                     ping"
Everybody sing: out of my pocket, out of your pocket, out of all
                     our
Precious pockets, our pockets full o' candies, merry merry
                     christmas.
