I have seen the beast and he is mighty.

[Rastoff]

I have seen the beast and he is mighty. He doth move like the wind, with the wind. He doth call to me from the field of battle. Though he be fierce, I do not shy from his call. Thus, I sallied forth to meet him on the field of valor.

Lo we did battle first one way and then another. The beast did bring a fearsome attack. He did mount the parapet like a tide, but I was up to the task and did fight him back.

I swept his support out from under and brought him low. I did wield my weapons with all the skill I could muster. With my last breath I was victorious and did imprison the beast in a cage of impermiability. I sealed the cage hermetically so the beast suffocated and was no more.

Yea, the beast was mighty, but i was mightier. I was victorious. After I vanquished the beast, I took my repose in the grotto of electronic bliss where I did slake my thirst with ambrosia.


Translation...
I raked up and bagged the leaves. Now I'm watching TV and drinking a soda.

 

[Deceasedeye]

Bravo! Well done, one for the books. You had me all the way!

 

[Rustyt1953]

Whimsically and colorfully told.

Well penned, indeed.

For a moment there, I thought we were about to witness the deployment of the Holy Hand Grenade.

Most of our leaves are still on the trees. Most are still green. Guessing that they will all turn an ugly shade of brown and drop like rocks in a couple of weeks.

We only have two seasons here. Brown, and less brown.

 

[ZGrand]

Drinking a soda. Sure.............

 

[Jon651]

I did gyre and gimbol in the borogroves!

 

[Seamus O'Caiside]

Rastoff, you are weird, but I kinda like you.

 

[GB]

Me thinks there may have been a wee drop O Scotch in that soda!

 

[Rustyt1953]

I wish shouldazagged were here to read that. It is right in his wheel house.

 

[Whit]

Me thinks Shakespeare haveth a modern rival. Lo, rest not on thy laurels, for the beast cometh in waves borne by new winds. Be diligent for another attack before winters harbingers arrive in full force to assure the departure of the beast for a season. Be thou safe and equally blessed, oh valiant warrior!

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

"And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth."

Uh oh...here comes the missus and she looks pissed!

 

[Rastoff]

Drinking a soda. Sure.............

Scoff all you like, but I gave up alcohol in 1988. And I never looked back.

 

[Ogandydancer]

Me thinks there may have been a wee drop O Scotch in that soda!

And just why would you ruin a perfectly good Whisky?

 

[Old_Cop]

Scoff all you like, but I gave up alcohol in 1988. And I never looked back.

August 15,1988 for me, thank you Lord.

 

[pharmer]

Huh, took me until 1993 for my scorecard to read “zero.” Joe

Lest all the leaves from the wicked trees that brought forth life to the first beast have all been vanquished with it, remain vigilant, for a second, a more powerful beast may spring forth and take up the fight anew!

 

[YeshuaIsa53]

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
