 proudly we hail from Hollywood this is CP McGregor speaking and welcoming you to another broadcast of proudly we hail a program of your ward apartment through the courtesy of the Hollywood Coordinating Committee to present Harold Gildersley Perry as the star of our show titled Lily packs a wallop written by Rich Hall with music by Eddie Scrivenic. Chester Lelywhite who live very quietly with his elderly housekeeper Mrs. Edwards wasn't the kind of a fellow you'd want to play tackle on your football team. Chester had two obsessions his flowers and his next door neighbor Mr. Dunkel both he'd like to see planted underground Mr. Dunkel six feet under Mr. Dunkel shared billing with the ham and eggs in the conversation that morning at breakfast. Mrs. Edwards these muffins are delicious this morning. Well now I'm glad you like them. You feel good don't you Mr. Lelywhite. Good perfect. Why I'm as chipper as a J bird. You always feel good when Mr. Dunkel goes away in his vacation. Oh please Mrs. Edwards don't mention Dunkel. I only think of him when I buy my insect spray. Oh it's true though. That man is so edgy and and so muscular and I had to plant my renunculus right by his fence and renunculus requires so much water. You'd better warn the new gardener not to get water on Mr. Dunkel's fence. Yes the new gardener. Don't you remember the employment agency is sending a gardener out today. Oh yes so they are so they are. Well we won't have to worry about Dunkel's fence not for quite a while. Since Dunkel's been gone I've watered those renunculus to my heart's content. Why his old fence is dripping with water at this very moment. I don't see why Mr. Dunkel has to make so much trouble but I do think you should stand up to him more. Mrs. Edwards you're absolutely right and when he comes back I'm going to be very firm with him. Well you always say that when he's on his vacation. This time I've made up my mind. But hasn't it been wonderful having Dunkel away. Hasn't it been wonderful. That's me. Oh dear he's back. Oh dear the water all over his fence. Excuse me Mrs. Edwards. Definitely. Nice to have you back Mr. Dunkel. Well Mr. Dunkel did you enjoy your vacation. I've got a good notion to push your nose right back between your ears now now Mr. Dunkel that's not resort to violence I pay a hundred and eighteen dollars and sixty cents to get this fence painted I go away on my vacation I come back and what do I find yes what does he find spots spots all over spots now Mr. Dunkel remember I have to water my renunculus you do now listen Lily White is crumpling my tie Mr. Dunkel I'll crumple something else next time if you have to water your renunculus water them use anything use an eyedropper but don't spot her my fence yes Mr. Dunkel and what's more you better get a nice new scrub brush scrub brush yes Mr. Dunkel and clean every one of those spots off my fence spot yes Mr. Dunkel and if this ever happens again it won't Mr. Dunkel no and now me I have my neck tie back again and my neck thank you it's certainly nice to have you back home again well Mr. Lily White were you firm with Mr. Dunkel did you stand up for your rights oh yes Mrs. Edwards I most certainly did by the way do we have a nice new scrub brush which you mind getting it out he's making you clean his fence again making me not at all I simply offered to do it as a gesture of good neighbor policy all right but I wish I were ten years younger I'd take care of Mr. Dunkel I've hit me husband rest his soul for less oh the new gardener is here in the living room in the living room oh dear oh thank you that's excellent I'll go talk to him oh dear such a day well my good man greetings mr.
