I say it's a floor topping, and I say the hell with it!

	Let's get down to business.  (walk)  Uncross those beautiful
	stems of yours, baby, here's the case I call number sick, sick, 	
	six.  It all began innocently enough on Tuesday.   I was sitting in 	 
my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous
	staccato of rain on my desktop and reading my name on the
	glass of my office door.  Regnad Kcin.  My secretary lay snoring
	on the floor (snores) her long, beautiful gams pinioned under
	the couch. I didn't hear him enter, (creaky door/walking) but my
	nostrils flared at the smell of his perfume... Pyramid Patchouli.
	There was only one joker in L.A. sensitive enough to wear that
	scent and I had to find out who he was. . .
