Snozzberry

Willy Wonka skulked around his chocolate factory for months after Mrs. Gloop refused to take his calls. Mr. Gloop showed up at the factory in full German regalia and told him about the impending breakup with Mrs. Gloop. Being a skilled tactician, Willy decided to pursue Mrs. Gloop for a date. He knew the relationship would be challenging with so much emotional territory to traverse. Mrs. Gloop finally agreed to meet Willy for sushi, cocktails, and a movie. By all accounts, it was a whiz-bang first date - they stared into one another's eyes for hours before kissing goodnight. Mrs. Gloop fell in love with the snappy minded chocolatier. She hardly mentioned her ex-husband and his farcical over-sized mustache. For their second date, Willy brought Mrs. Gloop to a jazz club and they took in a set by Miles Davis, the progeniter of modern jazz. Davis was sheathed in black and stood with his back to the audience as he played. The couple drank snozzberry cosmopolitans throughout the show. While riding home in a taxi, they made the back windows opaque with their heavy petting. Willy burst into song -  an old sea shanty he learned as a boy. Mrs. Gloop touched Willy's ruggedly handsome face and said, "My dear, why don't you sell that cockamamie chocolate factory and move in with me and Augustus? We have plenty of beer and schnitzel." Willy told the driver to stop the car immediately. Willy yelled, "I would never leave my factory - we're through!" He stormed out of the car and she sat alone whimpering as she watched his plummy coattails disappear into the moonlit night.
