Whistle Gestapo

by pome lover


 

 

 

“Whistle, whistle, whistle”

“What are you so happy about?”

“Feel good. Whistle, whistle”

“As in, you’re not sick?”

“AS IN feel good.”

 “Well, I don’t see how …”

 “My turn. Something wrong with feeling good?”

 “No, but …”

 “What?”

 “Well, I don’t see how you can be so happy with what’s going on in the world and    especially in our country.”

 “I’m not happy about it, but I’ve done what I can, and I’m not going to …”

“What? What have you done?”

“I’ve contacted my congressmen, written articles on social media and on Fan Story, donated to a few people I really like to support them, and I’m going to poll watch. And vote, of course.  What about you?”

“Well, I’m worried to death and, of course, I’m going to vote!”

 “Okay, that’s good. You should, but what else? You going to volunteer to poll     watch?  Go door to door for your candidate? Make phone …?”

 “Look, I don’t have to do those things if I don’t want to, but that doesn’t mean …”

 “No, you don’t, but you also don’t have to be a grouch and question my whistling  either, like you’re the ‘Whistle Gestapo.’  If you’re so worried and upset, which I don’t blame you for; I am, too, then do something to help.”

 “Grumble, grumble, just asked a simple question.”

 “Yes, the question was simple, but … tell you what. Why don’t you sign up now, on your cell phone, and we can poll watch together, and …”

 “Well, I don’t …”

 “And after you call, I’ll treat you to a beer. Deal?”

 “Well,”

 “And a burger.”

  “I don …”

  “And a piece of pie!”

  “Deal!”

  “You ought to run for Mayor. Nope. Bad idea. Whistle. Whistle.”

  “You can’t even carry a tune!”

  “Whistle, whistle, whistle, whistle, whistle, whistle.”
