7:42am
Hi, when I came home this morning from helping my wife get her classroom ready (her first day at work!) I noticed my cats batting a little grey furball around.
When I got out of the truck there was a little grey mole shivering in the grass. The cats weren’t hungry and I guess they were just having some fun with him. I scooped him up and brought him inside. I thought he was ok and was gonna keep him as a mascot but his back legs don’t seem to be working quite right and then I noticed that he has a big patch of skin missing from his chest. (really big)
9:40am
I’m afraid Mr. Mole the Great has expired.
It will be some time before his funeral pyre is arrainged and if he isn’t stiff by then I will know he is just sleeping or passed out.
In any case here is what I have so far.
His shoebox will be his boat.
I have a straight pin for his sword and a button for his shield. I will fashon some mole armor as best I can with tinfoil.
I will adorn him with gold clippings from an old 386 processor.
Some paper clips
A few nuts and bolts.
Some smartys (candy)
A pair of dice (Mr. Mole was a gambler)
Some loose change.
He will rest on 10 sheets of soft toilet paper atop a pile of dry grass and twigs.
Now I just have to find some worms some place….
