E7: Preacher Man 2

Thyme

Hey God! Are ya’ there? I got ma’ report fer ya’!

God

Sorry, Thyme.  Runnin’ a bit late this mornin’.

Thyme

Oh that’s all right. I knows yer a busy … uh … God. I was jus’ a settin’ here smellin’ the flowers an talkin’ ta’ the birds.

God

And just what report do you have for me this fine mornin’?

Thyme

Well, you know, on the affairs dahmor project concernin’ Thyme Quinn an’ the revered Reverend Josiah Washburn.

God

Oh yes, that one.

Thyme

OK, so after church yesterday, as we was all exitin’ out the front door, there stood Reverend Washburn, as usual, sayin’ his goodbyes an’ shakin hands an’ kissin’ babies. When it came Mama’s an’ my turn ta’ bid farewell, he did his usual lookin’ me over while shakin’ ma’ hand an’ holdin’ it a little longer than all the others.  When he was done, I then commenced ta’ lookin’ him over from foot ta’ head … an’ took ma’ time doin’ it too.

God

And what was his reaction to that?

Thyme

Well certainly not at all what I expected! He got all red in the face and went into that little stutterin’ thing that he sometimes does, but big time, and turned an’ nearly ran back into the church leavin’ me standin’ there wonderin’ what I did wrong.

God

You did nothin’ wrong, Thyme. 

Thyme

Well, didn’t seem like that. Nothin’ came of it!

God

Not true.

Thyme

Oh yeah? How do you know.

God

Why is it that I must repeat myself on the answer to that question nearly every time we talk, Thyme?

Thyme

Oh yeah, I’m sorry, I ferget. Omniscient. You know it all.

God

Thank you.

Thyme

So what was the somethin’ that came of it?

God

You didn’t see him standin’ in the door watchin’ you an’ Mama walk all the way to your car, get in, an’ drive off?

Thyme

He did?

God

He did.

Thyme

Why’d he do that?

God

Why do you think?

Thyme

Well, I don’t have the slightest idea. Why didn’t he jus’ run after us an invite us to lunch er somethin’?

God

Perhaps he’s a bit shy. Didja ever think of that?

Thyme

Shy?! He don’t seem so shy when he’s up there preachin’ his fire an’ brimstone.

God

Well, he’s just a man of many flavors, Thyme.

Thyme

Phew! This affairs dahmor stuff ain’t ‘zactly easy.

God

You’re right about that.

Thyme

Oh well then, would ya’ say that we’s now officially courtin’?

God

Thyme, that’s for you to decide.

Thyme

Well whadiya think he thinks?

God

Thyme, he’s been courtin’ you for some time now.

Thyme

He has?

God

He has.

Thyme

Seems like I’m the last ta’ know.

God

Well, at least now you do.

Thyme

Guess I better do somethin’ about it now, huh?

God

Probably a good idea … to make it official.

Thyme

Lordy me. Guess I’m a little slow getting’ the hang a’ this stuff.

God

That’s all right. You’re doing just fine, Thyme. Just fine.

Thyme

Thank ya’, God. See ya’ tomorrow. (sigh) Lordy me …
