CARTOON ANSWER:    AFTER RUNNING OUT OF HOT DOGS, THE FOOD VENDOR

HAD TO MAKE A – – –

ICSCNOESHESCOEPN = CONCESSION SPEECH

Good Morning, Everyone!             🌭 Where’s the BEEF? 🌭

🎶You know life is too SHORT Lord to have sorrow, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You may be here today and I’m GONE, and I’m GONE ..And you may be GONE tomorrow…TELL it like it is…I’m nothing to PLAY with, go and find yourself a toy
But I… TELL it like it is…My TIME is too EXPENSIVE and I’m not your little boy…🎶

🏀🌭 I have to be quite honest, the first thing caught my eye?
The sign to DENOTE pricing…sure seems a little high…
The cartoon’s nice, it’s SCENIC, some players and some fans,
The food vendor, a SHREWD man he, and there’s his hired hand.
Somewhere must be a MASCOT, to represent this team
We see its not professional, young kids or so it seems…
The jerseys have ICONIC names, as Jeff is want to do
The Jumblers and The Scramblers are what come into view.
EXPANDing the pic further, is something out of reach?
No, not to fret, I got it now…it’s a CONCESSION SPEECH! 🌭🏀

Today I’m thinking SHREWD may be the Shrew word, with ICONIC a close second. All old favorites, but anagrammed anew. Ok, DRIBBLING over to our cartoon. We’re at what looks like a middle school Basketball game, after the final BUZZER. Looking for something to eat, a few people are gathered at the Concession Stand. First thought? Talk about HOGGING the Ball? We have a vendor here HOGGING them all! Check out those prices! HIGH, RIGHT? I mean, this is a neighborhood game…something seems a little FOUL. Anyway, we’ll let it PASS for now. So, having RUN out of Hot Dogs, the vendor figures he may have to DEFEND himself. Sure, the people are disapPOINTed, but there’s no BASKET cases here. No one’s RUNNING AWAY, or making a BRACKET…but he’s still looking to explain. Hmm. Ok, so leaving out the Hot Dogs, we have a 3-POINTER left…Burgers, Popcorn, and Nachos. One kid is TOTALly ok with it. The others, though, look like they’re COURT off GUARD…Our question asks..What did the vendor have to make, in light of there being no more BEEF? Well, he GOT BACK to CENTER stage, PIVOTed into POSITION, leaned FORWARD, BLOCKing his employees view, took THREE SECONDs to RULE out any INTERFERENCE, and said….”Ok, I’ve RUN out of Hot Dogs, even the little PICKs and ROLLs. You can see what else there is to eat, it’s POSTed UP on the wall. There’s no WING and a PRAYER, or SHOT in hell for me getting any more. I can’t TRAVEL to PICK any up, even if I made a FAST BREAK, and worked OVERTIME. They made a big SPLASH, they were the KEY selection, and I’ve PAINTed myself into a CORNER. MAN, if I could STRETCH FOUR more out for you, I would, but I’ve TURNED OVER every BOX OUT back, went UP and DOWN every aisle, and there’s none in my POSSESSION. So, all I can do is hope there’s no OFFENSE…and that’s it”. PHEW! That was some speech, huh? He really conceded that he blew it, didn’t he? The vendor…made a CONCESSION SPEECH! SLAM DUNK, Guys! DROP a DIME and FLOATER right out of here…Great, great pun! A DOUBLE BONUS! Ok, finally…eye candy. I’ve already mentioned the names on the jerseys, and the price BOARD. What’s LEFT? There’s the sign with the name..FULL COURT CAFE. No, REJECTED. I guess I’ll do a BYE candy again today...BYE BYE…Hot Dogs…I look FORWARD to seeing you next time…So, There you have it Folks, Done!
Have a great day, Everyone! It’s been a LONG post! Definitely TIME to FADEAWAY…! 🏀🙋🏻
