The Cultivators

the cultivators taught how to walk and talk they approached as a group each with a bowl of bread given unto them by a lord trying to speak and be strong i said, "time moves along, it, can't stand here all day in contest.....i say...you say" then they all talked at once in different directions throwing corrections at everything i'd pronounce my resources mustered as their actions grew flustered as my patience waned at their reactions their creations grew louder, i said, "just cut the chowder, leave now please, and don't come back" the storm eased and mine was the final thunder clap long since when i've not seen them again i can tell you they are much less than sourly missed in fact they've dropped off their radar somewhere else, excepting, of course for their last recourse (every once in a while) a pamphlet at the door

A most interesting piece. I have gotten my share of pamphlets and engaged in a number of conversations over the years. I am still uncultivated and perhaps uncultured as well. I guess i’m in a yogurt state of mind.

They may have stopped at my door. I'm retired with extra time to share. :o) However: As with your experience, their return is often just a pamphlet. :o) Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

Really love this. You have to love them. Agree or not, I often admire their convictions, the convictions of most right-minded people (seeking a better world for self and others), for that matter, who are willing to throw body, heart and soul into something one believes in--so unlike most of our lukewarm world. I really got a needed laugh out of this. Brilliant write! Thank you.
