Lord Shiva learns of Moody’s plans to go to the Moon (satire)

It was morning and Lord Shiva had finished his breakfast – the dose of ganja had been a bit too much last night and he still felt drowsy. But – if he remained in bed, Durga would heckle him and, he did not want to be tagged a hen-pecked husband. So, like a good husband, he had brushed his teeth and had munched a handful of peanuts.
By the time he finished the peanuts, his trusted lieutenant Bhringi brought him his morning cup of green tea. He took a sip and felt rejuvenated.
Suddenly he heard noises in the distance – it sounded like the noise of an airplane. He was surprised and looked at Bhringi.
‘That is the sound of an engine being tested,’ Bhringi clarified.
‘An engine in this remote part of Mount Kailash?’ Lord Siva asked. ‘What engine?’
‘An aircraft engine.’

‘Aircraft engine here in Kailash?’
‘Yes – it is a top secret project of Moody,’ Bhringi replied. ‘Only a few of his men know about it. He is fast running out of countries to visit. So – he has set his sights on the Moon.’
‘I don’t believe,’ Lord Shiva said.
‘But it is true,’ Durga replied. She had joined him with her cup of tea. ‘Our friend Moody loves to think out of the box. He has made friends with big countries who have agreed to help him in his venture with necessary expertise.’
‘You mean different countries will contribute towards making the vehicle?’
‘Exactly. They all love him. One of them would give the engine, another one the body, a third will give the navigation system and the fourth will provide the pilot.’
‘A very interesting affair I must say,’ Lord Shiva handed over the empty cup to Bhringi. ‘And – what will he talk about on the Moon?’
‘Well – his agenda has not been disclosed,’ Durga whispered. ‘But, from what I have heard, since there are no humans on the Moon, he will take his ministers along with him. Of course, only a few like Jet Lee and Ranee-ji and Sue Sharma will get first preference. They are very close to him.’
‘And – what gift will he carry in case he does meet someone on the Moon?’
‘Probably moonstones, a copy of James Bond novel Moonraker and a video of Michael Jackson’s Moonwalk.’ (to be continued …’)
