A
Children's Tale by Terry McDermott
Human Cardinal
From the "Adventures of the Human Cardinal ."
The Lime Sherbet Kid
(A Naani)
A paper hat
With bright green hair
His music just a tiny bell
The Lime Sherbet Kid enters the rin
The Midnight Seahorse Enters
the Ring
Everyone loved the little green wrestler,
who once worked at an ice cream parlor. The mood of the crowd
drastically changed when the tie-dyed hippie wrestler Kent Cool
entered the ring. Queen Rat Lady was at his side. Kent Cool grabbed
the microphone from the ring announcer. "Ladies and Gentlemen
I am not going to wrestler tonight," he said as the audience
cheered.
"In the dressing room I met a gentlemen
from the ice planet Cong, by the name of the Midnight Seahorse,"
Kent Cool stated as the Midnight Seahorse began walking down
the aisle.
Benny and Icy the Bats were flying above.
" I don't know any wrestler from Cong by that name,"
said Icy.
Suddenly the three tiny seahorse approached
them. "We just got a report," one of them shouted.
"That Midnight Seahorse is Kelly Bunn."
Benny flew down to the front row where
the Human Cardinal and Blue Tornado Boy were sitting. "Hey
bird brain!" Benny shouted.
"Not right now Benny," said the
Human Cardinal, "the match is about to start."
Well now it seems the red bird man has forgot the reason he is
there!
Will he keep ignoring Benny?
It may be up to the little green bat to
stop the Midnight Seahorse, alias Kelly Bunn, alias Killer Bunny!
Read on!
Uncle Pluto's Lime Soda Saves the Day
Meanwhile as Benny the Bat was trying to
get the Human Cardinal's attention . Queen Rat Lady had the referee
distracted. Kent Cool was aiding the Midnight Seahorse as they
pounded the Lime Sherbet Kid.
In a matter of minutes, the tiny green
wrestler was out cold. Then the Midnight Seahorse turned on Kent
Cool. The crowd was in shock and did not know who to cheer for.
Icy the Bat located Nero the Space Pup,
Major Matthews, and Officer Maroon. "The Midnight Seahorse
is Kelly Bunn in disguise!" he shouted.
Queen Rat Lady jumped into the ring, and
was fixing to strike the Midnight Seahorse. "Don't strike
me," he yelled, "I am your ex-husband! And I have come
to get you!"
Nero the Space Pup, Major Matthews, and
Mick Maroon entered the ring to arrest Kelly Bunn. As Maroon
pulled out his handcuffs, the three were struck by Queen Rat
Lady's magic wand. All three were froze into ice statues. The
Human Cardinal stood to his feet and shouted, "Hey get out
of the ring! You guys are ruining the show!"
Benny the Bat just shook his head and said,
"You are a bird bring." Then the little green bat had
an idea. Blue Tornado Boy was drinking a bottle of Uncle Pluto's
Lime Soda, which is made for St. Patrick's Day. He gabbed the
bottle of soda and flew over the ring, and poured it upon the
Midnight Seahorse.
Kelly Bunny became bigger and his Midnight
Seahorse attire was torn to pieces. Once again, Kelly Bunn was
the seven foot muscle bound pink rabbit, known as Killer Bunny.
"There you are!" shouted the Human Cardinal. He rushed
to the ring with Blue Tornado Boy at his side.
The Blue Wonder trapped Queen Rat Lady
with his wind like powers. The Human Cardinal grabbed Killer
Bunny by his ears, and tossed him into the bleachers. Quicky
he was mobbed by a band of tiny seahorses who wrapped him with
coral. However Queen Rat Lady was able to vanish which broke
the spell she had on Nero the Space Pup, Major Matthews, and
Officer Maroon.
"I think it's best we take Killer
Bunny with us," said Major Matthews. "The ice chambers
at Cong will hold him better. Plus Icy and Nero will help me
keep an eye on him."
"That is fine with me," replied
Officer Maroon.
The Human Cardinal, Blue Tornado Boy, and
Officer Mick Maroon returned to Brooke Meadow Lane to celebrate
St. Patrick's Day.
Only one mystery is left!
Where is Queen Rat Lady?
She is going to turn up on the "Adventures
of Derek the Red," which will return soon.
How do the citizen of Brooke Meadow Lane
do to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
They drink Uncle Pluto's Lime Soda.
