St Muckymuck, Season 2: Prayer Service Prologue

Bzzz.  Bz. Bz.  Bzzz.

Shug Grant picked up his mobile phone from the table next to his bed.  It was 4:37 in the morning and he squinted in the light from the phone as he struggled to read the text message he had just received.

     Oh my goodness, Shuggie.  I'm having the worst day...

"It's too early to be having the worst day, Tatjana." groggily mumbled Shug, the director of the St. Mocheomoc Cathedral Choir, as his dozing cat, Bandit, yawned, stretched and rolled over.  "It's a mortal sin to be up at this time of day.  God doesn't get up until 11!"  He continued to read:

You won't believe what's happened.  I've lost not one but TWO cows 

from my research herd.  I can't find them anywhere.  What am I going to do?

Shug typed back sleep threatening to overtake him.  

         How do you lose a cow, Tatjana?  Try retracing your steps.

Within seconds, he received this reply: 

I didn't lose my keys, Shuggie, but two two-ton cows.  I drove a herd of twelve up to Bovinapool to pasture so I could take some utter samples and now two are missing.  Esmerelda and Evelyn.  Oh, Shug.  What am I going to do??  This is sooo awful.  Oh my goodness.
