  my pal 
    
   dance fever

   " jor not cut out for dis job  jerb  "

   $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


    too bad we missed 

the labor day launch
   
   but

 we got a few other pots boilin here 
       at the ranch right now 

and have had
for at least
 the last three months


   pickin just  one pot to peer in 
   
 there's 

what we "done" 
with 
 the Institute's 
   brake thru 
              100k 
         grant from the kiekaiffer fund
 

 lady   trick sleeves
  cadged uz
the 100 extra large 


 to

" open and maintain
   a branch of the Herb Sorrell  Institute"
 
down  in puebla mexico
 
"as part of the nafta and afta " thing  

what a fool krieg 
        this has  turned out to be 


   $$$$$$$$$$$$


  lets lay to the side
     the clink time 
     erstwhile project leader 
     doctor john torres
( el chigro )
          is still  doing 
  for a non sense 
     "power pop"
         he donated to the snoot  
                     of  
           some
           "six foot tall   
                 self appointed ass hole
                                         of a federale  "
           
no we can safely 
 skip  right over that frigus 

and get  to   job one
       down there     


which was supposed to be 
           rentin'  
    a local puebla office
where we planned 
to store all our  
secret klass weapons 
like  signs  flags bull horns 
dick dockers brass knuckles
bronx  pine apples 
 and 
other such dark and dangerous
 struggle gear 
as might appeal to our whims
and fit within our budget

as well give us a place 
to  hatch plans  start rumors 
     finger bad fellas 
   produce   hand bills 
paint posters  
inscribe broad sheets
 maintain scrupulous  files 
   launch raids 
   forge 
 journals 
 burn yule logs and 
practice saying alphabets 
 

the  "we "by the way 

here being
in this instance 

especially since 
 their 
   fearless leader
          el chigro
 iz was and will be
               in the  calaboose
   and  "uncle tobey" ortega 
 and  johhny sawmill 
are back here for "repairs"

left only  
the  trickle down remains
 of the original
  5 person 
     chi-gringo  flying squad  
 the two bottom feeders 

"silent running" sutton 

 and "battery boy"


 " and i'll take 
    them  two toos
with me "
   as el chig called em  
  " to make weight"
 

all well and good 
i guess 

everyone deserves
 a chance to shine 

am i right?

any how 

these particular 
last two's  of  "we" 

about 
  two weeks ago 

        placed a 6 months 
               up front 
"thats how they do it down here herb "
                                         cash  deposit 
                                  on a store front type place 

  - and in total "in good faith" -

the 
up shot  

 place  s' got
more then one owner

 
  " this ummmm 
    other  
      out of the clear blue  guy "
   shows up 
        claiming landlordship  
    and screaming
" get the fuckin  fingo 
         out of my place "

  as to 
  the" lovely seniorita"
   thats
          " got  all our  dough " 
    
seeing  as she 
naturally would 
  have our dough 
  seeing as  
    she iz  "official exclusive agent"
                    of the "first  landlord"
    
 and what of events 
south of the border
since 
the snafu of multiplying landlords?
              
  "we been lookin for her everywhere "
