He seated the cabbages with respect and served

  • He seated the cabbages with respect and served them bowls of buckwheat groats and cups of fine black tea. Most people were inconsiderate savages, but he felt comfortable and hoped
  • this small but lovingly prepared meal would sway the cabbages to accept him as one of their own.He understood their gravitas&sought to bring kindness to their miserable cruciferous
  • patch of garden. The cabbages had been through many wars against the snails. In the past few seasons cabbages had been devistated by a slug invasion. The garden wars had taken its
  • toll in the lives of brave cabbage warriors making the final sacrifice. Widow cabbages and their bereft children prayed for peace, but the slug army would not hear of a treaty.
  • "Salt and burn," said a lone voice. Anxious eyes darted back and forth. "Should we?" The pacifist cabbage warriors had staunchly adhered to non-lethal weaponry against the slugs.
  • The lone voice belonged to a cabbage patch doll. He wanted to use salt on the slugs. Then a pacificist cabbage warrior said, "It'll do no good. The slugs have kevlar salt vests
  • . We should try to negotiate a truce. Slugs love their hatchlings too." But they other cabbage patch kids feared the snails and put a Trojan cabbage in the patch filled with
  • elite cabbage patch soldiers. The slugs were suspicious, but when the cabbage patch kids explained that the Trojan cabbage was an offering to My Little Pony, they relented. Foolish
  • cabbages. Did they think My Little Pony chose its popularity? All they did was slay Barbie's foundations. But greedy toy companies had the last laugh. Hasbro's shark tank waited
  • until the Yellowstone caldera erupted and blocked out the sun to introduce their toddler-sized My Little Generator powered by treadmill, stationary cycle, or hand crank!

    Forgot to mention that all the fossil fuels were burned up and there was no wind any more either.

    Yes, good stuff. Bit of a different direction at the end but nothing wrong with that.

    Sorry, I got caught up in creepy children's toys and the dogma of commercialist marketing. Again.
