Kickass, the doorstop dog, advises that there are times when the keeper’s unique ability to be a part of other communication circles should not be questioned but simply accepted, and such is the case as he reports on a meeting of the wood ticks in northern Wisconsin.
TICK ONE: “We’re looking for volunteers for the Friday POTUS visit.”
TICK TWO: “It’s a suicide mission. Latch onto him and reverse blood-sucking sets in until you are flatter than a windshield moth.”
TICK ONE: “Well, we have to do our duty as this is one of our banner years and we are crawling around on everyone, especially visitors.”
TICK THREE: “I’ve been assigned to an Illinois family so I’m not available for POTUS duty.”
TICK ONE: “Word is the current POTUS likes to be first in all things so we are putting out the executive order that all ticks assemble at the airport and when the POTUS debarks they are to crawl onto him and make their presence obvious by waving signs that say, ‘Make America Parasitic Ready’ and by singing ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’,”
(It was at this point that Phyllis suggested the keeper leave his Kickass mission and have breakfast, which he did, scratching at a suspicious itch.)
