mmmccxxxvi

there just isn’t any time
for goodbyes


hello,
howdy,
how goes it,
head?

head’s a
hole, that’s
what, that’s
how it goes.

who says,
head? I said
who’s really to
say how it
goes?

says the hole
you called a
head, that's
who!

i didn’t know.

well now you do!

good gawd head
& good gawd hole!

well, if it isn’t 
our good mister 
headache!

man, if this
isn
’t just all
I can take!

YOU ARE THE 
HEADACHE!
AND I AM 
THE HOLE!
that’s what
either one 
or two 
of us
said.

hey there,
hi there
and ho
there,
hole!

[mutter
mutter
and pause]
well whattaya
know [head’s
head held in its
gigantic hands]

[all rise
to meet
the rowdy
chorus as
they sing
their:]
hello hello hello
hello hello hello
hello hello hey
hello hello
hello hello

hey hole!

hey head!

are you
thinking
what I’m
thinking?

yep! says head

yes, indeed!
says hole

[head, hole
and headache,
in unison:]
that sure was
one raucous
caucus!

[the chorus
chimes in with
round two of
hellos, etc.]

hello hello i am here
