One day in the
ages when we never bother to date, in a beautiful garden; they do plant more
than flowers those days, they added in fruit-bearing plants too as they were
all one big family. Talking about family; pardon me everyone had an equal opposite
to be considered as their pair, there was one who was all alone. He sat there brooding
and looking glum. It was on this day that I walked by and saw him sitting
there.
"Hello,
Adam." He looked at me and weakly raised his hand to wave at me.
"And hello
again, Adam. What's with you today? It’s very unusual for me to see you sitting
here in such a sad mood. Where's your other half?"
Me? I know
everything in this place, as I am the Maintenance Man. I fixed the needed fixes
and unfixed the unneeded fixes so they can be fixed once more. Even HE calls me
when the flush does not work. I told him it would be eons before we perfect the
flushing mechanism but HE was said my daily routine cannot wait for it to be
invented as HE invested so much into his body. I would have suggested a diet
but the kitchen staff took offense to it. So I suggested to HIM to use the lava
tubes as they go all the way down to Hades and are blown dried by then. HE did
and now HE tells me HE has got the piles on him. Guess we can't satisfy them
all in this garden of Eden. HE is now resting on some clouds and I hope HE does
not do it up there or we would have more than cats and dogs raining on us soon
enough. <
But let me get
back to Adam. The lad is so embarrassed that he had to whispered into my long
tall bunny's ears.
"So she dunks
it again. Poor lad, with you so vigorously ....male-like and she went for the
one named Samuel. I tell you, my dear lad; you need a new woman in your life......"
But poor Adam took to hide on me mentioning the last lines.
"Shhhh... You
are an imbecile for an angel. I need fixing to my life and not have my life story
affix to their ears." Adam was pointing at the fairies who are within ear
shouts distance.
"Pardon me,
Adam." I sat down to think of how to resolve Adam's issue, I was looking
at the fairies who were all playing by the golden pond. It's a golden pond as
its water glimmers with the gold dust falling off from the blonde hair of those
fairies. The fairies are making castles by the pond and then they poured water
onto it to soften the material. Its molds well into the shapes they want and by
golly, they can even build the upright twin turret with perky points.
"Hey
Blondies, what is that you are using to make your castle?"
"Who are you
calling Blondies, Bunnies ears?" One of them replied to my question.
"We are building our castle and you ain't going to be invited to it."
"I need to
know where you got those materials so I can help you cart some moreover. I was
just offering my help that's all." I pretended to walk away and the
fairies echoed the answer to me; "Ask the Mole man as he said there been a
heck lot of clay being dumped into his lava tubes. We found it soft and easy to
mold when mixed with water, so we brought them here. Would you fetch more of
these and maybe you can make a mate for yourself and save you the needs to
creep up on us beneath the waterfall."
Shucks! They knew
and yet they did not sound me out earlier. I need to find a new burrow for that
place. I rushed off to the Mole man's place and heave out a hundred pounds of
clay from his lava tubes. I took them to the golden pond and mold them myself
like an artist with his models in the display. The covered can be uncovered
from my memories if not by the glimpses I can peek at. Soon I have my present
ready for the lonely lad.
Adam, come forth
and see your lady in clay. You can name her as yours as if she was made for
you." Adam came running from his hidden corner to view his newly presented
model. He looked at the model before he and sang the chords as below:
He rolled His big
sleeves up
And a brand-new
world began
He created a woman
and-a lots of lovin' for a man
Whoa-oh-oh, yes he
did
With just a hundred
pounds of clay
That's one more
maintenance works I completed today. I left for my other works but not long
later Adam came running to me.
"I think she broke
an arm"Adam showed me the broken limb of his model. I ran back to the pond
and fixed the model's arm back and she was new again. Before I left, I told
Adam to keep her wet or if would be hell to pay.
It was not for
another day that he came running.
"She grew all
fat and clumsy like a pile of clay....." Adam was sobbing in front of me.
I rushed back to see the model all crumbled down and it does look like a pile
of clay. I was to start again when HE arrived.
"Why does
Adam ails?" HE asked as he stood before me. "Is that what I think it
is? Oh goodness, did you bring it here or did I dropped it on the way the last
time I pass by."
I whispered into
his ears on the plight of Adam.
"I knew then
I did make him short on a peck or two. I should make amend. Come here, Adam."
Well, the rest you
know from your storytimes. But let me add to you this final part. I had to
clean the mess everyone left behind as I am still the Maintenance Man. But they
now appreciated me more. I can tell from their singing of my efforts.
FADE
People, let me tell
ya what He did
With just a
hundred pounds of clay
