The Senator's Wild Experience


Sitting in a garden that was filled with Busch roses and overlooking a river that glistened due to the warm summer weather a General from the war that was civil sipped English Breakfast tea.

“Life is a dream,” he said when there was abrupt disruption.

“Sir” a well-paid servant announced, “he said he was an Internet blogger from Matty’s Express.”

Before the general could state ‘send him in’ Matty was standing in front of the beer belly leader.

“What can I do for you?” The General surrendered.

“I am Matty from Matty’s Express where news is in your internet box overnight,” the independent journalist spouted out while catching his breath, “I got word that Senator O’Dwyer fell ill when as the Japanese stated, his Tetsu was really low and I know you have been embattled with the Senator,”

“Well I know when your iron is low bad things can happen, The General addressed “but despite Senator O’Dwyer’s valiant virtue he did have a reckless spirit when he got jacked especially when the Irish Expectations came from Larry the Leprechaun.”

“He said he once claimed a foul against you due to your reckless spirit after you uncork the bottle. Is that true?”

“Matty, it’s a nice day, nice weather and look at the Busch Rose Garden,” the General offered, “I thought you came here with some softball questions not the high heater interrogation information gathering type, here are some amusement tickets why don’t you take your wild ride fetishes out over there.”

Checking his tape recorder to make sure it was still running Matty stuck to his guns, “Look General due to this embattle you are out of the money and for starter Senator O’Dwyer had the option to be claiming these facts.”

Starting to raise his voice the General made it clear, “After Senator O’Dwyer uncork the bottle he got this allegation from Larry the Leprechaun who gave him false info,” the General paused, “and the only reason you would come to this tranquil environment.”

Matty picked up his pencil, “Tranquil environment? There are wild rides all over the place.”

The General continued to put his foot down, “Only reason you been given me this inquiry is Matty’s Express is out of money,” then the General calm down, “now excuse me Matty, look at that young bud its getting wiser when it blooms.”

Standing up Matty inserted the pen in his pocket then turned off the recorder, “these were mature claims that despite being late in the day had merit and were brought forward due to the Irish Expectations claiming foul.”

Picking up a book entitled “The Plays of Pedro de la Barca,” the General sent a strong reminder, “the fouls were disallowed.”

Not saying a word Matty removed himself from the scene but was able to hear the General mumble, “Segismundo what happen to you was terrible, but it did work.”
