The Booming Voice of Goddess
by Albert Russo

Today she would be sued for being a child torturess. As for honey, I only accept to swallow one teaspoon of it when I have a sore throat; it supposedly stops you from spitting mucus shmukus, yuk, at the person next to you, in my case, my immediate neighbor is Unky Berky. Actually he is a sweetie-pie, coz with him I can get by with murder. Keep that to yourself, ok! If you don’t I’ll run to your folks and tell them all the disgusting thoughts you have, setchual, as well as the other stuff you oughta be ashamed of. I can read minds, remember?

As good ‘ole Moses, aka Moshe (pronounce Mow-shay, not moshee moshee anow-nay like in Yapaneez!) was hesitating, all a-twembling and frightened he was that such a Mighty Goddess deigned to speak to him personally, he who no longer was an Egyptian prince and who now wore a cheap sheepskin, which had never been washed and attracted buzzing dung beetles that sometimes drove him bonkers.

Hey Goddess, yeah this is another one of my asides - ooh, who just whispered backside again? Stop it right now or I’ll crack your skull and make bonecorn with it, ok! - what kind of a cruel sadist are you to have thrown your Chosen People on the dirt roads, under the rain, the snow or the scorching sun, for two thousand swiney bloomin’ years? I’m warning you, yeah I dare you pick on me or on my frail, pussymoussy uncle, coz I choose who I want to be with, where and when, and it certainly ain’t with thththou!

Since Mo’ still wasn’t sure whether he had heard right, he started to play with his staff and bore holes in the sand like a nervous lil brat. Then all of a sudden the long wooden stick struck Mo's head, almost knocking him out, and instead of his staff he found himself face to face with a swishing snake thrusting its slimy fangs left, right and center, trying to sink them into Mo’s forehead.
