Digest by John W. Howell © 2018

“Wow am I full.”

“Not surprising since you ate enough to feed a family of five.”

“Let me digest for a minute before hauling out the lecture material.”

“I just don’t understand how you can put away that much food.”

“Easy. Open mouth, insert food.”

“You know very well what I mean.”

“Okay, the lecture is about to begin. Give me the Reader’s Digest version if you don’t mind.”

“I’m just glad we didn’t have any guests to witness this scene.”

“Alright, that is about all I can handle. This is Thanksgiving. You’re supposed to eat a lot.”

“By a lot are you talking about four servings?”

“Well, if that’s what it takes to be thankful.”

“What about the children?”

“What about them?”

“Do you think you set a good example.”

“I don’t think they even noticed. Look at them playing over there.”

“You going to help me clean up?”

“What’s to clean up?”

“You know how these carcasses attract hyenas. I hate those things. They are always laughing and at who knows what. Gives me the creeps.”

“Darling you know I’m king of the jungle, and no damn hyena’s going to mess with me. Just so you can rest easy, I’ll drag these Zebra leftovers into the underbrush. Might be good for a snack later.”

“How can you even think of a snack.”

“Don’t you have a gazelle to chase down or something.”

“You watch the cubs. I’ll be back in a flash.”

“Take your time. I’ve got a wildebeest game to watch.”

  1. Too funny John. I suspect most of us excuse binge eating on Thanksgiving. Thank goodness, we don’t have hyenas in the area. Have a great weekend. 🙂

  13. I just know you were inspired by the ads for the “new” Lion King movie… two plus two equals a hilarious Thanksgiving, Safari-Style! So typical… he lies on the couch while she does all the work 😉

      1. Not sad, really. I zip through them also. The bloody preview has been playing all over the Internets. Disney just doesn’t have any imagination anymore. Let’s remake of a remake of a remake… but give it lots of bells and whistles so no one notices we are simply rehashing.
        Sorry for the rant…
        And a well done SoC! 😉

    1. Those lines are made by drills. These are solid granite rocks. They would drill holes and fill them with dynamite. The dynamite would blow the rocks away from the mountain in chunks. The chunks would then be cut into squares and transported to the jetty.

  19. Great savanna you’ve done it! Worked one of my favorite beasts in all the world into a Thanksgiving holiday word challenge post.

    It’s why you are Boss. Love it!
