the protest movement

the neighbors

are protesting the strip club

up the street.

too many

gun battles

and late night skirmishes

from

drunken patrons.
they want

to put an end to the fun.

to nudity

and dancing. all at the same

time.

they bring

a minister along.

a teacher.

a woman pushing a

stroller.

three nuns and a boy scout

group.

and the local politician,

who swears he's never been

there.

they have

time on their hands

to fix this little problem

of theirs.

throwing a glass of water

at it

while the rest of the

world burns.
