Dr. Krumble looks for the one-legged man
Chapter 58
And if Miracles are your favorite thing,
2Then there will be other great comedy shows you’ll enjoy sinking your teeth into,
3Because only a Miracle could ever save aDr. Richard Krumble,
4Who will be the hero of a great comedy called ‘I Love the Fugitive,’
5Which will be all about an infallible doctor who didn’t hire bPerry Mastodon as his lawyer,
6Which explains why he gets convicted of murdering his wife,
7And gets sentenced to death in the electric chair,
8Except that he isn’t guilty,
9cAnd so he escapes to go looking for the done-legged man,
10Who always seems to stay one step ahead of Krumble,
11Week after week,
12Month after month,
13And year after year,
14Which is really sort of okay,
15Because somehow Krumble always seems to stay one step ahead of eLieutenant Gourd,
16Who looks at maps a lot,
17And always figures out where Krumble is hiding eventually,
18fBut only after the last commercial,
19Which is why Krumble always slips onto the bus just a second or two before Gourd arrives,
20Which is an important benefit to every citizen in the Most Chosen Nation on Earth,
21Because in his travels Dr. Krumble is gradually solving all the personal problems of everyone he meets,
22Week after week,
23Month after month,
24And year after year.
25And if we all wait long enough, he will probably take care of all the great social ills in the country,
26Unless Ben Guzzle gets there first.
