Dumpster Lovin'
by jim vecchio
There you go again! Oh, how could you? Have you no pride? Why would any one of you with your so-called "advanced development" belittle yourself, and all of your neighbors, in that matter? You’re giving all of us a bad name!
Don’t give me that old saw about all those great things you found in the dumpster! It’s a sure disgrace to see you diving into that dumpster day after day after day.
If I can see you, then everyone can see you.
The days of living like savages in the wilderness are over. Now they’ve given us a nicely trimmed lawn, spacious beautiful trees, and an abundance of food and game.
God’s been so good to us. Stay away from that trash and their rotting foodstuff. There’s a whole wonderful world out there for us to enjoy and explore. Why waste your hours by that dumpster?
Have you forgotten how to trust The Lord? I remain here and every so often, my food comes to me. And it’s delicious, I might add. No decaying or rotting in my food. And then, I just sit back and sing my day away. And I join in the songs of all that are about me.
What have you got to sing about? God’s given us so much and you settle for so little!
If the time should come I have to move, I am up for it. With your scrounging ways, will you indeed have the strength?
Think about where that nasty food comes from. Think about who made it!
Do you remember we must at all times remain distant from them?
They were the ones who put our God to death!
We are the ones who remain in God’s favor!
Are you content to be a dirty, smelly, ignorant vulture?
Maybe that’s why there’s so much difference between us.
I’m cuckoo!
