A one-a and-a two-a and-a three-a …

During his act with Harlequin and Pierrot, Bonzo fell flat … right into the piano keyboard after playing his favorite tune, “Allegro Molto, Choclo Molto.”
Suddenly, a man in black ran to the piano, reached over, grabbed at the two legs of the stuck Bonzo in the keyboard. He pulled them apart. Dummy legs!
Harlequin and Pierrot gasped. “Who are you?”
He threw off his top hat. “It’s ME! BONZO!” He sat down and played his favorite song.
Pierrot exhaled. “How did you do that?”
Bonzo continued playing. “Boys, if you want a leg up on the competition, remember — get TWO!”

Now in memory of Chuckles we observe a moment. Sounds like he had four legs. Hahahahaha.
I almost wrote one like that, then realized it wasn’t original.
Okay, I’ve quit groaning… I can applaud now!!!!!!!!
Haha very good 😀
First up this week, and a real show-starter! Nice one Kent.
That sets the tone for this week, I think. What a showman this Bonzo is. I love those magic shows where you think, “Wait, how in the world…?”
He had to have more than two legs to pull off that trick…good one.
Performers – always clowning around
good moral to performers
Chuckl3s was always so full of unexpected surprises. A clown who could channel his inner magician!
A seriously good magic act! And a fantastic last line!
Two legs up on the competition is twice as good as just getting one leg up. Good stuff, Kent.

Ha ha! Bonzo, the least known brother of the Marx Brothers! 😀
Yeah! I was gonna say …!
How fun and so very clever. the first FF I’ve read this week. I’m laughing and you’ve set the standard high for all of us. Good one! 🙂
Thanks, Penny! Mucho apreciado!
I’m smiling Kent, thanks for that too! 🙂
And the sound of nervous laughter is drowned by the Ba-dumpa-dump of the drums. 😉
LOL, very amusing
Dudun-dun tsssh! Love it! Good old Bonzo!
Well done, Kent. I love the drum roll and cymbal crash ending.
Fabulous – A circus of delight! Love the title and the story and the twist!
Applause, applause. What a treat!!
Wonderfull a fun start on my journey through FF
Very visual slapstick! Well done. Ann
Clever. And nice to get the established characters into the tale.
haha and i love that you even started it off with a one-a and-a two-a and-a three-a …^^
I’m shaking my head while I sit here giggling 😀
A nice take on the photo. Very humorous. Great punchline.
