CARTOON ANSWER:

SHE INVESTED IN THE PIZZA PARLOR BECAUSE SHE WANTED A – – –

COAPOFCIEINET – PIECE OF THE ACTION

Good Morning, Everyone!             🍕PIECE…AND TRY IT? 🍕

🎶(Take it)…Take another little PIZZA my heart, now Baby…(Break it), break another little bit of my heart, now Honey..(Have a)..have another little PIZZA my heart now, Baby….You know you’ve got it if it makes you feel good…

🍕 There’s nothing quite like pizza, especially in New York
Synonymous with who we are, just like the way we “tawk”.
Where some will look for COOKIEs, and others long for cake,
I’ll choose a pizza anytime…parlor or one I’ll make.
People from babes to NINETY cannot resist it’s lure…
And pizza parlors in NY are counted by the score.
The PROOF of a successful place is where the crowds you’ll see
Wrapped ’round the block like CONGA lines, abreast by two or three.
I don’t think I could say enough ’bout pizzas satisfaction…
I would invest just like our girl for a PIECE OF THE ACTION! 🍕

Looking at today’s words, I kept thinking about…how hungry I was! What can I say? I hear the word PIZZA and I become like one of Pavlov’s dogs…I could eat PIZZA every day, during any SEASON. As for the words themselves, despite being all old favorites, the anagrams are just enough of a challenge to whet any APPETITE. Ok, let’s see what our cartoon enFOLDS…Today Jeff places us at a PIZZA PARLOR, where we see three men and a woman. The dialogue tells us that the woman has recently invested in the place, and as she’s eating a SLICE of the PIE, she’s voicing her happiness over her decision. The proPIEetor, looking a little too CHEESY for my TASTE, is seen telling her he’s glad she now has a SLICE of the PIE; which with our question, was my first thought. PIE..Piece of the PIE. But, the INGREDIENTS just weren’t there. Two “C”s, one “P” just aren’t CUTTING it…But noticing the male patron standing there COOLING his heels, with money in his hands, and the word “invested” in our dialogue, TOSSED a new thought my way…, and I took a GAMBLE…She wanted a ….PIECE OF THE ACTION! Good one, David..I BET you thought we WOODn’t see that coming! Ok, eye candy…Glancing aROUND again, trying to see what I can TAKE OUT of the cartoon, I’m ROLLING my eyes at the proPIEetor. I mean, I’m no SQUARE, but between his long ombré beard being held with a band at the BOTTOM, and a very long earring STRETCHing down, well…KNEAD I go on? There seems to be MUSHROOM for improvement here…PERSONALly, I never SAUSAGE a look in a PIZZA place…It just seems to SERVE up an unSAVORY image. There’s the worker, seen SLICING up a new PIE. Wearing a hair net, and sporting a soul patch, he has his tongue hanging from the side of his mouth, and his ear is gauged with a ROUND plug. Didn’t they go out of style, DOUGH? Ear today, gone TOMATO? I think I’m just going to go with the only thing I can really get a HANDLE on today…Next to the him? Leaning against the counter? The HANDLE of the PEEL? (A flat, shovel-like implement, used for carrying PIZZA in and out of an OVEN). It’s the only thing that really aPEELs to me today…So, There you HALVE it , Folks! DONE. Have a GRATE day, Everyone! And remember…No matter how you SLICE it, in life there may always be someone trying to sTOP you from being yourself. Don’t be fOILed! ..The important thing is to consider the SAUCE. 🍕🙋🏻
