So here’s the Human: loafing in its easy chair, swilling coffee, and munching chocolate. And there’s the Dawg: squirreling around with something on the floor.
Human takes a swiggle of coffee and a closer look, and…and…
HOOOLEEE maquerel! That something is a SCORPION.
Incredibly, it hasn’t yet launched its defenses against the Dawg.
IS there REALLY never a dull goddam moment?
And why th’Hell NOT????
Human leaps up, chases the dog off, grabs an old jar and a piece of stiff paper.
Into the glassware with the little guy, lidded in with the paper slab.
What an amazing and wonderful creature! Looks like something that came straight from some Age Before the Dinosaurs.
So we carry the little guy through the garage and out the door, way into the front yard. Down by the street, as far from the Shack as possible. Gently, carefully let him out into the gravel beneath one of the trees.
Now, if you were God, what on earth (or in Heaven) would persuade you to create such a strange little beast?
Kinda mystifies me: I could never imagine how to put such an animal together.
Presumably, that’s why I’m not God, eh? 😉
