I was glad to read that pretty ,young, blonde, blue eyed
-just turned 18 - Faith Marie Ouellette - is back safe and sound
from her mysterious " adventure " with the 56 year old traveling
carnival worker John " JJ " Marra. While Faith was reported " missing ",
I had scary images out of a Ray Bradbury story in my head : " Dark Ferris ".
Some friend of Faith thought " JJ " was a little sinister
looking with his toothless, middle aged smile . Another " Mack the Knife " ?
In the Ray Bradbury nightmare carnival the villain becomes
young again merely by riding backwards on a strange ferris wheel.
Thinks " JJ " : " Now I'll have my way with her ! "
But the way the actual news story ended, I am thinking of
a bizarre version of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical " Carousel ".
But - nice guy that you still might be , you are no Billy
Bigelow, Mr. JJ Marra ! .
From the play : " The fust time he kissed me the whiff of
his clo'es knocked me flat on the floor of the room. But now that I
love him , my heart's in my nose, and fish is my fav'rit perfume "
At 18 LOVE can be blind. But I'm not suggesting at all
what REALLY happened between Faith and " JJ " .
" There is no place like home faith ". Welcome back to
Kansas !
