The Caucus Race (Susan Test version)

Susan floated through the tears in the bottle. The sun was rising and Susan could see what she had literally cried an ocean of tears. Just then, she heard someone singing. She turned and saw an unusual sight.

It was a red fox wearing an olive green top hat, a green shirt, green pants, and a blue cloak. He was holding a cane in his hand. His name was Honest John Worthington Foulfellow, or Honest John for short. He was riding on a gator named Louis and a humanoid Arabic dog named Dijon was pushing him through the sea. Honsest John began to sing:

Honest John: Oh, a sailor's life is the life for me

How I love to sail on the bounding sea

And I never, never ever

For the weather never ever does a thing for me

Oh, a sailor's life is the life for me

Tiddley-um (honks his nose twice) Da dum dee-dee

And I never, nev...

"...ahoy! And other nautical expressions! Land ho, by Jove!" the red fox shouted.

Dijon saluted him and said, "Where away, Honest John!"

"Honest John?" Susan said to herself.

"Three points to starboard." Honest John said. "Follow me, boys! Have you at port no time at all now, ha-ha! Oh!"

"Mr. Honest John," Susan called.

The fox and the humanoid dog sail away, as he began to sing again:

Honest John: Jo-ho-ho

And a bottle of sea

We love each time...

"Please..." Susan called. "Please, help me!" Just then, a fox and a bear were riding on a boat. Their names were Brer Fox and Brer Bear. "Um, pardon me, but, uh, would you mind helping me?" said Susan, but neither Brer Fox or Brer Bear seemed to hear her. A canoe passed by. In it were a sponge, a sea star, and a squid named SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward. Also in a boat were a bear, a bear cub, and a mountain lion named Yogi Bear, Boo Boo Bear, and Snagglepuss. "Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo! Help me! Please! Help me!" she called. She stood up, causing the bottle to sink temporarily. "Help me!" Susan cried from underwater.

The bottle resurfaced and she saw a group of toons on the shore. Dijon, Yogi, Boo Boo, Snagglepuss, Brer Fox, Brer Bear, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward were all running around a rock. Honest John was on top of a rock and singing:

Honest John: Forward, backward, inward, outward

Come and join the chase!

All (except Susan Test): Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus race

Backward, forward, outward, inward

Bottom to the top

Never a beginning, there can never be a stop

(The water starts to rise again and Honest John lifts up is campfre to prevent it from going out.)

Honest John: To skipping, hopping, tripping

Fancy free and gay

I started it tomorrow and will finish yesterday!

(The water lowers and surprisingly, the runners are completely dry.)

All (except Susan Test): Round and round and round we go

And dance forevermore

Once we were behind

But now, we find we are...

(Susan gets out of the bottle and a wave washes her to the beach.)

Forward, backward, inward, outward

Come and join the chase!

Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus race.

Honest John: Backward...

Honest John suddenly saw Susan and said, as he used a cigar to breathe in and out, "I say! You'll never get dry that way!"

"Get dry?" asked Susan, as Dijon bounced off her head.

"Of course, little girl!" Brer Fox shouted.

"You have to run with us, kid!" Yogi shouted.

"First rule of the caucus race!" SpongeBob added.

"But, how can I-?" Susan began, before she started to run.

"Now, that's more like it!" Boo Boo said.

"You'll be dry in no time!" Dijon said.

"But no one can ever get dry this way!" Susan said.

"Nonsense!" Honest John said. "I'm as dry as a bone already!"

"Yes, but-" Susan began, before a wave covered the group again.

Susan saw Roger washed up on the beach, riding in an umbrella. He turned it over and was drenched in water.

"Alright, boys! Let's head now! Look lively!" the fox said.

"The cartoon rabbit!" Susan exclaimed. "Mister Rabbit! Mi- Mister Rabbit!"

"Oh my goodness," Roger yelled, as he ran off into the wood. "I'm late! I'm late!"

"Oh, don't go away!" Susan shouted. "I'll be right back!"

"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" Roger said.

As Susan ran after the rabbit, she could still hear the fox talking.

"Brer Bear, don't step on Dijon!" Honest John shouted. "Yogi, there won't you stop kicking Boo Boo! Patrick, SpongeBob..."
