00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.930 align:middle line:84%
So I'll start with
the entitle poem,

00:00:03.930 --> 00:00:05.960 align:middle line:84%
"Enter Invisible
for Northrop Frye."

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:09.000 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.690 align:middle line:84%
So she says to me, you
be the heavy father

00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:17.160 align:middle line:84%
and I'll be the hayseed, and
she's all right, better than.

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:18.210 align:middle line:90%
And it's dark.

00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:19.950 align:middle line:90%
And the bar, pretty empty.

00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:22.860 align:middle line:84%
So we start this courtship
mockery over a Bud,

00:00:22.860 --> 00:00:25.620 align:middle line:84%
and peanuts, and the
noise of the dishwasher.

00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:29.040 align:middle line:84%
She's calling me Alazon but
I don't know who that is.

00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:33.030 align:middle line:84%
And if it means say, scoring
later on, I'll take it.

00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:36.030 align:middle line:84%
She's in black and I'm
in button down blue.

00:00:36.030 --> 00:00:37.920 align:middle line:84%
At some point, I
can't remember when.

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:38.940 align:middle line:90%
Did I order dinner?

00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:39.990 align:middle line:90%
Dinner arrives.

00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:42.360 align:middle line:90%
And I eat and get fat fast.

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:46.350 align:middle line:84%
She becomes my daughter, but I
still want to sleep with her.

00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:48.510 align:middle line:90%
What bar is this?

00:00:48.510 --> 00:00:49.620 align:middle line:90%
I'm thinking.

00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:52.680 align:middle line:84%
The bartender looking
at me like I'm the brain

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:55.170 align:middle line:90%
worm, a professional fool.

00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:56.310 align:middle line:90%
And he's right.

00:00:56.310 --> 00:01:00.600 align:middle line:84%
For quick as whippets, I've
got long ears and a tail.

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.450 align:middle line:90%
Jackass, I think.

00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:05.099 align:middle line:90%
Fool, I think.

00:01:05.099 --> 00:01:07.230 align:middle line:84%
And my conquest,
my daughter, she's

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:08.710 align:middle line:90%
trying the eyeball elsewhere.

00:01:08.710 --> 00:01:13.110 align:middle line:84%
So I'm drowning in
it, beer and air,

00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:16.920 align:middle line:84%
and I pull the bartender
down, and whimper.

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.770 align:middle line:90%
I'm just a woodland fellow.

00:01:19.770 --> 00:01:23.385 align:middle line:84%
But he says, you
are an ass, indeed.

00:01:23.385 --> 00:01:28.200 align:middle line:90%


00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.830 align:middle line:84%
That's Northrop Frye's model
of what comedy, all comedies,

00:01:31.830 --> 00:01:35.390 align:middle line:90%
follow that model, more or less.

00:01:35.390 --> 00:01:36.000 align:middle line:90%
