Reverand Combover was eloquent and outspoken and a thumper of the Bible School of misquotations the Church of the Covenant was near an empty Hay field. Every Saturday they raked it but on this EarthDay Saturday it seems that they forgot the rakes The Grasshoppers so used to distribution moved up on their own to the Sides of the Church Building and the Roof so seldom used they covered it in droves. The migration there was silent no talking in the ranks. Perhaps ewe were thinking then of Disney but this is true made up story life. They never stripped the field of hay like locusts do in the Bible stories. They only seemed to live a few moments of their time in each sad day of life. Insects are rally fragile ewe and they don’t survive. It’s also not true that they spit Tobacco juice although it sure looks like it in consistency and size of blobber. The Preacher was thumping the Bible so hard that dust mites screamed out in fright the Congregation all jumped to a man all the Deacons turned and ran then tossed open the doorway to the parking lot outside one man yelled back over his shoulder and Cried "GOD will get you someday Preacher." For he had just misquoted the scriptures again. He grabbed the Bible like a madman then chased after the men like some doddering old drunk wanting another hit from the bottle and they had carried it away outside the Grasshoppers flew out from the roof and that Preacher almost died sure that it was the Plagues of Egypt come from heaven down. But the Deacons all came back around and laughing now they raked the Grasshoppers away not locusts John Henry they smiled. It’s just Earth Day.
