Episode 76 I’m The Ministry Man

For twenty minutes each day we shall cease all activities to listen on the radio to the shipping forecast. We shall pay close attention to these regions: Forth Tyne Forties Dogger Humber We shall pray for Gregory and our other fishermen friends. On the question of nurture for current and subsequent offspring we shall harvest the homestead. Carrots shall be steamed then mashed then cooled then transferred to small glass jars then labeled then frozen for future use. Potatoes shall be boiled then mashed with butter then consumed immediately while still warm. Peas and apples shall follow the same path as carrots. It will from time to time be necessary for our tribe to visit the village store. On those occasions our tribe shall select from the shelves these items: Gum Ribbons Autumns shall yield spectacular reds and unimaginable golds. Winters shall unleash a blizzard of stars, a constellation of snow. Springs will birth lilacs that whisper upon dawn. And summers we'll run amok amid the daisies. Not to mention dandelions.
