I am trying as hard as I can, to destroy

I am trying as hard as I can, to destroy the old man's house but to no avail.

His glasshouse was stone-proof, waterproof, and futureproof. Try as I might, I could not get in. I could not destroy the old man's house.

dini's escape hatches into his houses letting him slip into other universes where I'd failed to stop him. I disguised myself as a plumber & attached his pipes to a black hole

Luckily he believed my phony story about being a plumber, and I was free to disconnect his alternate universe portals.

And so I set forth, picking a yellow portal which seemed to be slowly grow ever so slightly. I would personally loved this place, if not for the fact that It lived here.

Luckily It was Out, probably at the 7-11 trying to distract the counter person with idle chatter while It crammed stale pastries down Its pants. It was such a twerp, anyway. But I

held myself in much higher esteem. I never needed to distract the 7-11 counter person while cramming pastries down my pants, I thought smugly as It ambushed me & stole my pastries!

The 7-11 manager accosted us:"We've been alerted about you. Need you two to pull down your pants." The joke was on the droid, I thought, unaware It had resnuck the pastries into MY

pockets. But I wouldn't give up. "These are cargo shorts, thus I can't pull down my pants." I left the droid in stunned silence and went on my merry way.
