A chapter in the book Worlds

Mole World 7

by Bill Schott

The author has placed a warning on this post for language.

A mole dressed in taupe with a noose-knotted rope

meets up with the Pope on a slippery slope;

both have a hope that they can co-cope,

not look like a dope when fate deals a 'Nope'.


Then came the question, "What's up with the noose?"

asked the curious pontiff through a haze of Chartreuse.

"Who are you hanging? Could it be Mother Goose?"

The mole remained mute, had no lips that were loose.


The present conditions made progress a nil,

as neither could reach the top of the hill;

"Perhaps with the rope we can lasso a --"    "Still!"

Mouthed the mole, "We will stay here until --"


"Until I snatch this rope from you, mole,

and cast it to loop over that hilltop pole.

We will succeed in both body and soul."

"You can suck seed from a six-foot-deep hole!"


The mole pulled a rusty, serrated knife,

"Freeze right there if you value your life!"

"Are you coming to bed?" said -- Oh, it's my wife.

Uhhh -- the pointy thing turned into a fife.

The End

I was hoping this would go somewhere, but I couldn't get over that hill.
