Diggers and Lemmings

Diggers

 

Diggers, those praying mantis-like steel monsters, are invading, eating everything in sight.

They have docile, benign-like names such as Deere and Cat, but don’t be fooled. These creatures are dangerous. They level everything.

Then they begin pushing huge mounds of dirt back and forth. The machines build a giant mountain of dirt here today. And tomorrow they move the mountain over there.

Finally, the dirt is leveled and smoothed like a farmer’s field. Hundreds of seeds are then planted. They sprout into a new Florida subdivision.

Hundreds, no, thousands, of baby boomers now stream into Florida, like lemmings blindly following each other over a cliff, to live “The Dream.”

Soon the diggers will reappear and the destruction of the places where the wild things live will begin again.
