*CHOCOLATE-DIPPED*

*By GILDA LILY*

	Setting: One perfect fall day in Fantasyland, in a confectioner's shop.
The bell tinkles over the door, announcing a customer's arrival. 

	STOREKEEPER: Good morning.
	CUSTOMER: Good morning.
	ST: What would you like today, Madam?
	 C: It's the kind of autumn day that sets my blood going.  I need 
            your excellent chocolate!  What do you have in chocolate-dipped

	    products?
	ST: Ah, a good choice, Madam.  Our products are all hand-dipped. 
	    How about these?  All dark chocolate.  Chocolate-dipped Secret 
	    Service agents.  They come with their own little train.  They're

	    made in Victorian-style.
	 C: Mmm, they look good, but I'd like to see some more.
	ST: What about these wiseguys?  They come with their own cement
	    overshoes.  Really chocolate overshoes, of course.
	 C: Again, yummy, but I'd like to look a little further.
	ST: Well, we just got a special import shipment.  How's this?
	 C: Oh, that's adorable!
	ST: Chocolate-dipped Mountie.
	 C: He looks utterly *delicious*.  And who's his companion?
	ST: A Yankee cop.
	 C: *Mmm mmm*.
	ST: They come with their own white chocolate wolf and a dark
	    chocolate car.  A 1971 Buick Riviera.  A rare find.   	

         C: Oh, these are perfect!  Make up several boxes for me, will
you? 
	    I have several friends who'd love these.  Let's see, there's Mel,

	    Gail, Buffy, Lainie, Bernie, Waffle, Desilu, Jamie...well, there

	    goes my budget, but they're worth it!

	They *are*, aren't they, girls?  :)

	*For all those who expressed a desire for chocolate Mounties...and 
cops!*
