A visit
The mistress of the house
heard some commotion
and came out of the kitchen to see
what was going on
And she was just in time
She yelled at the driver of a car
and told him to stop,
and then three drunken, spoiled and belligerent men from Bangalore
stumbled out of the car
after managing to bring it to a halt
just a few millimeters before the water fountain
in the heart of the farm
The driver wore only his underwear
and he smoked non-stop,
now and then throwing cigarette butts
here and there
Who are you to tell me to stop?
This is my farm
I have come to visit
Please move your car
The parking area is near the gate
I can do whatever I like
Someone told me about this place
and I came here to be free,
to free my soul
You are not behaving
in respectful manner
You’re drunk
and you almost crashed into the fountain,
and your car does not belong
in the heart of my home
Please move it
The three drunks had been acting rather aggressively,
so within minutes of their arrival
a number of the farmhands had come,
armed with pitchforks, machetes and scyths,
to protect their mistress
Shall I kill them, Ama?
There’s plenty of room left in the rubbish pit,
and we’re planning on burning the rubbish later this afternoon
Let’s give them a chance to leave
Two of the drunks were not quite as drunk as the driver,
so while one of the farmhands
sharpened his machete,
it was suggested that one of them move the car
I can’t do anything
The driver is my owner
Your owner is an idiot
Perhaps you should find yourself a new owner
He might kill someone
if he manages to make it back to the main road
Perhaps we should take his keys
Those guys are super aggressive
They wouldn’t give up the keys
without a fight,
and beating them up
would have undesirable consequences
We have to either kill them
or wait for them to leave
Killing them would be a bit harsh
Compassion is best
Let’s wait for them to leave
We could sic the camel on them
Or the boar
Yusseff can kick sideways,
and he can pick up a donkey with his mouth
and throw it twenty meters
Yeah,
Yusseff is strong
The driver might drop the keys in fear
if he sees Yusseff coming in his direction
Susi could ram them with her snout
Then he’d drop the keys for sure
Last year she killeded Raja the ram
when she rammed him
She’s like a torpedo
A light jab to the gut with a pitchfork
would change their attitude
I could graze the driver’s neck with the machete
That might motive them to go
I have the right to be here
I want to be free
You should come back another time
when you’re not drunk
Perhaps then we could talk
about freeing your soul
Right now you need to move your car
or let someone else move it
After some time,
the driver finally shut up and got back into the car,
put it into reverse
and very slowly
tried to move backwards
Drive straight,
you idiot
The driver had backed into a flower bed
and knocked over a hibiscus bush
Eventually he made it back to the gate,
but instead of leaving he parked
and the three drunks hung out near the gate alone
for a while
♫ ♫ ♫
They’re leaving, Ama
Good
They just hit the neighbor’s motorbike
and knocked it off the road
and into a ditch
It would be best if they hit a boulder
before they get to the main road,
so that they don’t kill anyone
Everyone then returned to sweeping
or weeding
or cooking
or whatever else they had been doing
before the visit
