INTERVIEW WITH AN ICE MAN

 

Interviewer:         I’m from The Sun, my name is Pete.

 

Ice Man:                 Come in and take a seat.

 

Interviewer:          How's your living in such a nice cave?

 

Ice Man:                 Oh, I don't live here — it's a grave.

 

Interviewer:          Brrr, I didn't know. Who's buried here?

 

Ice Man:                 Many of those who tried to peer

                                   into this cave. I have no ruth

                                   for any intruders, but telling the truth

                                   I'm bored a little being alone...

 

Interviewer:          I know the reason... Where's your home?

 

Ice Man:                  I cannot tell you, it's far away.

 

Interviewer:          But the night's closing, where will you stay?

 

Ice Man:                 None of your business. Next question, please.

 

Interviewer:          If you don't want me to, I will not tease

                                   you. I'd like to know what you eat.

 

Ice Man:                 I like very much mammoth's meat,

                                   but I won't refuse any other food...

 

Interviewer:          Hey! Do not close! Stay where you stood!

 

Ice Man:                 Now it's too late — my hunger grows.

 

Interviewer:          Oh yeah, I see it, it really shows!

                       What are you doing? Put away the axe!

 

Ice Man:                 Behind you! The Tyrannosaurus Rex!

 

Interviewer:          You must be kidding! I won't turn around!

 

(Hiss of the thrown axe.)

 

                       What hissed above me? What was that sound?

 

(He turns around.)

 

                                   You are a hero, you've killed the beast!

 

Ice Man:                 I won't be hungry next year, at least.

                                   You can confess now — what did you think?

 

Interviewer:          It doesn't matter... D’you have some ink?

 

Ice Man:                 You thought I'd kill you! Huh? Didn't you?

 

Interviewer:          I've got to finish my interview...

 

Ice Man:                 Forget about it and be my guest!

                       The tail of dino's yours. I'll take the rest.

                                   We'll eat and drink until tomorrow,

                                   then I'll find ink that you can borrow.

                                   You'll write a story for the first page:

                       Me and amazing man of bronze age.
