Horsing around


I got bored sitting at the washbowl after a while, so I backed up a few feet and started doing this tap dance, just for the hell of it. I started imitating one of those guys in the movies. In one of those musicals. All I need's an audience. I'm an exhibitionist. I'm the goddam Governors son. He doesn't want me to be a tap dancer. He wants me to go the Oxford. But its in my goddam blood, tap-dancing. It's the opening night of the ziegfeld follies. The leading man can't go on. He's drunk as a bastard. So who do they get to take his place? Me, that's who. The little ole goddam Governor's son.
