Gooood Morning Major! Gooood Morning Mrs. Major!
Alas; I beg forgiveness in my long absence. My own issues have kept me busy and I was having trouble finding more fighting quotations!
So, for this visit I must call upon my alter ego; YardByrd.
The whirring of wings is heard from above and a unique and brightly plumed avian is gliding downward. He bears a garland, or lei, in his beak. It is a loop about
three feet around. It contains many different types of flowers, yellows and pinks; deep purples and dark red ones. He comes down, to the floor of this
thread and a perch rises from the floor, it is plain, wooden, and has a bevel cut on one edge. He places the garland carefully on the ground in front of his perch. He wears a very shiny, platinum, "YB" medallion around his neck and it starts to glow a soothing lavender color and you can hear a deep, smooth, male, Latin voice translating his message:
"Hail greetings, salutations, and Good Morning Major! I offer this garland to you. Though I haven't been around much lately you, and your family remain in my thoughts and prayers. Each petal on every flower, in this ring, is a prayer I have offered for you. Each flower is a wish that you are recovering, and this garland, I present to you, is the hope I hold onto. Forgive us for our lengthy absence."
YardByrd spreads his wings wide, and as his perch sinks into the floor beneath him, he remains suspended in the air, levitating. He quickly flies down to the ground, just in front of the garland, and begins scratching out a message. Once done he nods forward once and suddenly disappears! His writing is script-like and distinct:
"You may my glories and my state depose,
But not my griefs; still am I king of those."
Richard II, 4. 1, Shakespeare
