Dumpster Diving for Your Love – Canto VII
In twilight's haze, 'neath skies of somber grey,
John Johnson fled with Willy Willay wide,
Escaping from the farm's arcane display,
With teen moms Lucinda and Filomina by their side.
The four, through tangled woods and fields did stray,
Till Wolf River's banks appeared in moonlit tide,
And came upon a siege started earlier that day,
In Moscow, TN, where Q-shaped shadows hide.
The Imperial Head Q-Ball, Allen Sandwich, stood,
His army poised for battle's final roar.
"For the Master's greater glory!" — cry to fit the mood,
As flames licked the skies and AR-15s swore.
Moscow's Natural Food and Tackle, good,
Now a fortress in the culture's war,
Everyone inside braced for roil and rile,
Against the damage caused by reason left to wild .
Into this chaos, Willy Willay spoke,
"Behold, Allen Sandwich, we come to thee,
Not as foes but as brothers cloaked,
In righteous cause, our spirits fierce and free.
John Johnson and I, from mycelia bonds we broke,
With Lucinda and Filomina, see,
Escaped we have, from fungi cultists drear,
To stand with you, no lefty cult we fear."
Yet Sandwich did a frown upon the four cast,
Displeased by the presence of women so young.
"In Moscow's streets, this looks aghast,
With teen mothers, our cause might be unsung."
But quick, the men their tale broadcast,
Of escape from said cult, their freedom wrung,
By these brave women, from a grip so tight,
Worshippers of a mushroom god, nasty nasty fright.
With tales of daring, Willy sought to prove,
Their loyalty to Q's cause, such a false divine.
"Let these women with us move,
For they too fought against the cultist line."
Sandwich, his doubts began to smooth,
Acknowledging their escape as a sign.
"Then stand with us," he finally agreed,
"In battle's fury, to Brandon's store we'll lead."
So joined they forces, under night's vast slate,
Where heavens bore witness to a town besieged.
Yet in John's heart, a flicker of debate,
As the morals of this war he questioned, fatigued.
Though by Willy's side, his friend, his mate,
And teen mothers' courage that surged so bigly,
John's mind was torn 'twixt Right and right,
Not certain where they'd be at the end of night.
