The Green Thumb
A wicked little Halloween tale!

There once was an old woman who possessed a remarkable “green thumb.” Flowers bloomed, trees bore fruit, the  grass was always green on her small half an acre lot…. and yet the land that surrounded her oasis was barren, dry and void of life. The only interruption in the landscape was the lifeless and cumbersome machinery poised to devour the small Eden she had tenderly cared for.

The man who spearheaded the conspiracy, had many times been dismissed. In his gluttony he conceived a plan to torture the woman by detaching a part her anatomy each time she denied him access to her property. The intent was not to kill but to terrify.

The first surprise encounter resulted in the loss of a thumb.

When the ambulance arrived to hasten the woman to the hospital for medical treatment, they found her drenched in blood still tending her garden amidst her great pain. Sadly the woman died en route to the hospital.

While the villan in this evil ambush remained anxious about the woman’s death, the  glee in his victory absorbed any thoughts of humanity he  had left.

As he surveyed his newly acquired property he became aware of a  sound.  A familar mumbling, a quiet sing song voice of adoration. As he moved into the garden he found her… busily  tending to herself in the garden. “You see” she said  “Everything I touch grows…. even me ……..”

What be yer pleasure matey….. be it a little trick or maybe a wee bit of the treat!

A fast rise to number one on the charts!

The album Thriller was released on November 30. 1982, and sold more than one million copies per week and currently remains the best selling album of all time.

Besides winning 8 Grammy Awards, Thriller cemented Jackson’s status as one of the biggest pop stars of the late 20th century, enabling him to break down racial barriers and gave the musical industry a new direction.

It would’ve been interesting to see where his latest This is It comeback tour would have taken him. We’ll never know. Michael Jackson….gone too fast.

This is it movie opening on October 28, 2009, for two weeks only.            Link: HERE
