"Honestly, young lady, I'm a writer," he insisted. "I'll put you in my book," he pled. "You'll be famous," he vowed.
"Your thick bush-whacker is magical," she asserted. "It's like a cyclone inside," she cried. "You're a Wizard," she averred.
"Sakes alive," he groaned. "A veritable naughty witch."
"Mr. Baum," she begged, "spunk my cock trap."
"Yes, my juicy darling. You'll be famous, Dorothy," he promised.
He spoke the truth.
