My case has gone before the Parole Board today.
I have been a model prisoner. Led an exemplary inmate life. No screaming. No banging of ration bowls. No fighting with the other inmates. Nothing.
My tail feathers were gone but it was NOT my fault! Can I help it that my manliness ... my high testosterone levels gave me temporary male rump baldness? The visits from my green other half, Olive, sufficiently suppressed the testosterone so my tail did start to re-grow.
Alas it was too little. Too late.
PAROLE DENIED
I have been imprisoned since April and now it is October. The Parole Board unanimously think I may not have the time to acclimate to freedom before the real Ohio weather hits. I would be susceptible to pneumonia with the cold weather and rain abruptly hitting my system after being pampered, uhh ... I mean ... kept in confinement all these months. The fear is I would immediately violate the terms of parole and I would be re-imprisoned almost immediately upon release.
There will be another Parole Board hearing in the Spring, when the skies are sunny, the winds are calm, the temperature is warmer, the relatives are abundant and the worms are nearer the surface. Until then I remain at the Birdy Bed -n- Breakfast Compound.
CRAP!
The worms will make a break for it tonight. I will help them get as far as they can to the door.
Crawl free nightcrawler. (*FLING*) Crawl free! (*FLING!*)(*FLING!*)
The smaller human will have her hair standing on end tomorrow morning. I *love it* when she does that!
HeeeeHeeeeeHeeeeeeeeeee! Captivity isn't so bad after all.
