St Muckymuck, Season 2: Feast Day Preparations, Part I

St. Pulcherius Seminary

“Fr. Eamonn…Fr. Eamonn!”

“What is it, Deacon Ebenezer,” barked the cranky rector of St. Pulcherius Seminary.

“Oh, Fr. Eamonn,” said the Deacon, breathlessly.  The little penguin on St. Mocheomoc’s statue fell off, sir!”

“WHAT!” hollered back a foaming Eamonn.

“Yes, while the cathedral choir was moving it, sir!” said Ebenezer, now doubled over, with a great stitch in his side.

“I hate choirs!” said the rector, suddenly.

“Can’t we just glue it back on??”

“With what?” asked the Deacon.

“Oh, for the love of Mocheomoi!” said the cranky priest.

“Do you want me to ask the choir master to put it back on?”

“Is that that chap Shug from the States?” growled Eamonn.

“Yes, sir, that’s the chap.”

“I hate Americans,” said Eamonn, completely to himself.  “No, I’ll deal with it.  Where’s the statue now?” he asked.

“It’s been moved down by the river, sir, for the prayer service at 2:53 on Friday afternoon.  Two of the altos, Emily and Grace, have just finished moving it from St. Bunnicula Square.

“I see,” said Eamonn.

“That’s when the little statue of Percival the Perpetual toppled off,” said Deacon Ebenezer.

“I hate perpetual penguins.  Run down there and tell the choirmaster I’ll deal with the statue break.”

“Yes, sir,” said the Deacon.

“Oh, Ebbie,” said Eamonn.

“Yes, sir?” he answered beginning to run.

“Did anyone get hurt?”

“Only one person, sir,” the Deacon yelled back.

“Well?  Who was it?”

“One of the sopranos, Ina Mallarky.  She’s in a coma.”

“I hate sopranos!”
