An Odd Twist

“Father?” Asked Tiny Tim who was on the shoulders of his overworked and underpaid dad; Bob Cratchit as they walked home from their daily Sunday’s at church. “Do you think we might be able to try a turkey one christmas day?”

"Maybe," said Bob, "if one of your songs becomes a number 1 hit." Tiny Tim took that to heart, laboring day & night on his little ukulele. Finally, he had a song he was proud of. At the recording studio, Bob looked at the song's title as Tim prepared—"Tiptoe Through The Tulips"

And surprisingly enough it was a big hit. 15 weeks in the top 10. A best selling record. Ukulele sales quadrupled. But the strangest thing was that “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” became a perennial favorite. Year after year, people couldn’t get enough of it!

It is what draws people in. People don’t want to come something boring. Ukuleles bring people together. This is what people need right now.

The council looked down on the musicians. “We have seen the error of our ways,” the grayest turkey uttered in a gravelly voice. “Today will henceforth be known as Ukulele People’s Day.” There was cheering, followed by many, many off key notes. Luckily, turkeys have poor hearing.
