Timing

"After yelling sit, what did you say?"
The man chuckled and explained.
"You said WHAT?!"
He nodded and continued.
"So what did she do?"
He answered... I gasped.
"What did YOU do?"
He smirked.
OK... that was self-explanatory...
"And the cat ran?"
He nodded again,
Took a puff from his pipe,
And went on...
"I can't believe it!"
But I silenced myself and listened more...
"So the dog got the cat in the end?"
He muttered "uh-huh"
While adjusting his pipe.
"And she went where with you?"
He responded and I guffawed....

And thus ended the tale of
The Man, the Woman,
His dog, her cat,
And the cue stick.
Sometimes you just have to be there....
