TAPPY CELEBRATES ARBOR DAY:
An Illustrated Story by Murray James Morrison
|
|
Tappy hated trees.
Tappy was OK with
monster trucks, and
demolition derbies, and
the mid-Atlantic.
But he hated trees.
|
|
|
Tappy hated trees so much that he bought a chainsaw, broke into a private residence, cut down the biggest tree he could find, took it home, lathed it into the shape of a monster truck, and rode it to the demolition derby.
He did this on Arbor Day.
|
|
|
Tappy never made it to the demolition derby.
Tappy never even made it home.
Tappy was arrested because Queen Oprah was a vindictive treehugger billionaire
who called the cops after seeing him cut down the biggest tree in her yard.
|
|
|
|
Tappy went to trial.
He pleaded innocent.
"I didn't do it," Tappy pleaded,
"but I hate trees, and I hate
Arbor Day, and I haven't known
Queen Oprah very long, but
I think I hate her too!"
The prosecutor countered:
"Trees are definitely more important than people."
The prosecutor's logic was invincible.
Tappy went to jail.
Queen Oprah made money on the trial.
Queen Oprah bought a private jet.
|
|
When Tappy got out of jail, he still hated trees, so he ate raw poultry everyday for a month. He knew this wasn't healthy, and he knew that poultry wasn't technically a tree, but he didn't care. It was his private way of "sticking it to the man."
Tappy got conjunctivitis and died.
|
|
|
Ninja trees crashed the funeral and stole the body.
|
|
|
|
|
The ninja trees brought Tappy's corpse to a recycling depot.
Tappy's corpse was recycled,
then sold to a major aviation
firm that routinely used
post-consumer waste in the
fuselage of their private jets.
Queen Oprah bought a private jet,
but on its maiden voyage,
it crashed over the mid-Atlantic.
Tappy got Arbor Day vengeance.
Queen Oprah probably
died in the crash.
