[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"I think there's plenty enough bull around here without bringing in Brahmans."

With a small humph, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother dusts off Delmonico and goes inside.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico goes inside and blubbers, "But, but, but, I could have been kilt when Mannheim exploded, or could of laid around fer days injured like the time ya hit me to hard."

But he is thinkin'"If I get a new steam traction engine with a roller, I'll get a carbide lamp for the front and chase them raccons at night and blind them in the limelight.  Then we'll have enough F.R.I.S.B.E.E.'s to sell them and get rich, all the kids will want one."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"If you had been hurt, it would have been through your own stupidity in letting the steam build to too high a pressure. You knew better. Are you going to fix that thing or are you going to let it lay in the yard in pieces so some future archeologist can find it and make up weird stories about us?"

With another humph, she goes upstairs to her cupola for the night. As she goes, she's singing softly.

"Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller now, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues"

[Stoney Pete]

Stoney sees metal pars all over the yard.    "No more christmas carols."  He unloads his shot gun and puts it back in the barn.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim goes into the kitchen and puts the coffee on.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes in the house and sees Slim in the kitchen.  "Slim yer Bramas are here, they are ready for you to ride when you are."

Delmonico goes back out in the yard and can't see what the FFg is complainin' 'bout, the pieces of Mannheim are scattered over 5 square miles and the only piece in the yard is the wheel.  Delmonico fills it full of dirt and plants flowers in it.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Great! I'll have a cup of coffee, check fer eggs, milch the cow, and I'll be ready to bull ride."  Slim pour a cup. Gathers eggs and milches the cow. He put the milk and eggs in the icebox. He goes the his room. Puts on his batwing chips, bustin' spur, and gloves. He goes out to the porch. "Hey Del, we got a saddle big enough fer those critters?"  "By the by, nice flower. What kind are they?"

[Delmonico]

They are Echinacea pallida variation angustifolia, but don't call them that out loud or the Herbal Folks will be out extractin' the roots of them.    Ya might want to just call them Purple Cone Flowers.

Delmonico hands Slim a bull rope and a glove, this all ya be needed Slim.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

With a scattering of glittering sawdust, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother appears, barring the doorway out.

"Slim, I know you already have plenty of children, so you may not care about that, but your dear wife would like some parts of you intact. You go out on those bulls and your eggs will be more scattered and scrambled than Delmonico's Mannheim. Don't do it!"

[Silver Creek Slim]

"My what? Scrambled?" 
"Nobody tolt me that!" 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico talks to the fellas that brought the Brammers and makes a deal with them, sumthing about saddles and horses.   They leave with the bulls and say, "See you later."

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim goes back in the kitchen fer another cup of coffee. He goes and sits and the porch. "I was lookin' forward ta bustin' dem bulls, but not fer that high tariff." 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes into the kitchen, "Yer bronc's are here, see if that suits better."  He hands Slim a purple saddle and a purple pair of chaps.   "If'n ya do good, I'll get ya a purple buggy to travel ta the rooooady-ooo's in.

<Author's Note, must warn litl rooster about swallowin' hiscoffee first.  He'll get this one even if Slim and the FFg don't. >

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Broncs are better. I've busted a few in ma day. But, not in purple. I'll use ma saddle and chaps. Thanks anyway." Slim walks to the corral to pick out one that might look like a challenge. 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother casts one of those looks to Delmonico. "They're broncs, not your little ponies, and I don't see you naming one of them Blossom."

[Delmonico]

I didn't name him, but there is one named Blossom among them.  He is that bay, ain'tnever been rode, yet.    One day he's a gonna throw his hide off with the cowboy.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"That chestnut looks like he might be fun."  Slim goes to get his lasso.

[Delmonico]

"That's the one they call Widder Maker,  if'n he carried pistols he'd have notches on them."

"He's terrible ta sunfish on ya Slim."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"I'm game!" Slim loops Widder Maker, puts on a blind, and cinches the saddle. He carefully climbs in the stirrups and takes off the blind.

[Delmonico]

And he winds up and tosses Slim straight up in the air, so high his bad breath condenses.  Slim comes down straddlin' a bob wire fence.  It cut him clean up the middle, right to the buckle on his gun belt.
