[at-l] Greetings of a Sea Son

["Felix J. McGillicuddy" <AThiker@smithville.net>]

"Mary, Kris, Macy. I've called you here today so I can give each of you
your gifts of the holiday season."
"Why, thank you father. No gifts are necessary, as long as we have
your love"  Macy said. She was always saying things like that. It
always ticked me off.
"As you know, money is running short this year. Your mother's liposuction
sessions are not cheap. And, there is the other thing, too."
"We know, father. That is why we expect nothing" Macy said, receiving
an elbow from Kris. I'd have elbowed her, too.
"No, no. I feel it is necessary to show you my love with a gift. The
problem is, I could only afford one gift, so, you must share, the three
of you here."
"That will not be a problem, father." Macy said, trying to ease my
concern.
"Will you knock that off?"
"Anything to please you, father."
"Arrghh!!! Anyway, here is your gift from me. Love it, for it is given
to you out of love." I handed them a large box. They quickly opened the
box to find a large, young bird. Apparently it had been dry inside the
box. The bird's skin was flaky and peeling. It was disgusting to me, but
the girls didn't seem to mind. I left them alone to play with their new
pet.

Not long after, their mother returned home. I wanted her to see the excitement on the girls' faces in this joyous time.

"Come quick!" I said. I opened the door to the family room just enough for their mother to see the girls. "What do you see?"

"Hmmm, Well.    Mary, Kris, Macy and a Chappy Gnu Yearling"

Pomegranites. Get yer pomegranites.
