Young, gentle John was envious of jolly Yally, the mayor, for his giant yacht, so John

watched Yally for a year, over bridges, through canyons, and beyond. John became

educated on Yally’s allergy of yolk, so he put yellow yolk in his juice and yogurt. Yally

drank the juice and yogurt and yelled, “Yuck!” but then he injected himself with a

major shot, did some yoga and was jolly. John’s behavior was a failure so he figured

he would schedule a session with a shrink named June. Her opinion was John’s

coyote like reality was no joke, thus assigning him to a judicious psychological

pharmacology for ages.
