KARDASHIAN'S BOTTOM

Joyous from their hunting trip, Yami and Tipo strode into a jungle clearing shouldering a haul numbering two monkeys and one tapir. The men belonged to the Mikopo tribe and, save from loincloths fashioned out of plant fibre, both were as naked as nature had intended.
Tipo, the sharpshooter of the two, had felled both monkeys with curare-tipped darts, while Yami's arrow saw to the tapir.

A Cessna droned low above the canopy and shortly afterwards a photograph, glossy and dappled with fingerprints, fluttered to the ground before them.

Tipo instantly took fright and scampered into the undergrowth, leaving Yami with one end of the bamboo pole resting on his collarbone and a pile of dead animals at his feet. Ever the bravest, he inched forwards in the manner of a bomb disposal expert, picking the photograph up before dropping it, fearing biological contamination from the outside world.
"What is it?" Tipo called out, his voice tremulous and uncertain.
"I'm not at all sure ... it appears to be an image of a goddess," Yami replied.

Little did he know, but the objet d'art, which he had again clasped in his hand, was a photograph of Kim Kardashian slathered head to toe in nothing but baby oil.


Tipo stepped over a monkey carcass to take a look. “Oh, her skin is so shiny, like that of a piranha."
"...And just look at the size of her bottom," added Yami.
"Indeed. Her arse is enormous," Tipo marvelled.
"Plus, she doesn't feel the need to wear clothes," Yami remarked, thinking her to be far more sensible than the few outsiders he'd met thus far.
"And let's not forget her shiny skin," Tipo reiterated, giving the celluloid an inquisitive sniff.
"So what shall we do with this incredible gift?" Yami pondered, absent-mindedly stroking his nostril stick for inspiration. "Yes! I have it! She will of course be able to stop the blue-eyes from building their dams and cutting down our trees."
"Or perhaps her bottom is full of fish?" Tipo speculated, "enough to feed the entire village!"
"For sure!" said Yami. "Though a goddess such as this would possess an intellect far greater than any human ... Perhaps we could exchange some of our botanical knowledge for just a little of her wisdom."
"Or maybe she might let us daub patterns on her buttocks?"
"Perhaps she might, Tipo, perhaps she might ... but, for now, let us celebrate our good fortune. Tonight we shall build a fire and drink caicuma!"
"Yes! And maybe eat monkey?"
"Of course we'll eat monkey!"

***********************************************

Sure enough, that very evening, the menfolk left their small-bottomed wives to chat among themselves in the village longhouse while they sat under the stars, around a blazing fire drinking caicuma and inhaling hallucinatory snuff that sent them all into a merry trance.
Kim Kardashian came to them in a vision, dressed only in a handful of parrot feathers. She bedazzled the tribesmen with her perspicacity and teased them with her well-upholstered backside. In fact, such was the potency of her dance, the men's loincloths were soon hoisted as high as flags.

Everyone retired to their hammocks later that night safe in the knowledge that the supremely intelligent goddess with the shiny buttocks would soon arrive to be their saviour.

Brilliant!! My perspicacity was bedazzled! So imaginative. I wish I had one of those Love buttons like on FB I could click. :)

Kevin Ansbro Thank you, Anne!
I'm good at bedazzling people's perspicacity. It's my only secret superpower! : )

Kevin Ansbro Thanks for the kind words, hun, and for taking the time to read my 5-minute wonder.
Your fast track to success (i.e. pumping up your posterior to Kardashian proportions) is fiscally sound.
I believe that it was Nietsche who once wrote, "I like big butts, and I cannot lie."

Of course you could save yourself the expense and simply stuff two cushions down the back of your jeans! : )

Thanks, Sabah, appreciate your comments!

Donnelle ^ Yes, I believe that was Nietzsche, whose much-lauded philosophical insights were later encapsulated in song form by his scholarly brother-in-arms, Sir Mix-a-Lot.


Kevin, you packed so much humor into such a short piece! When it came to discussing the intellect she would most certainly possess, I actually laughed out loud.

I'm also, of course, highly impressed that you were able to weave "perspicacity" into the story so flawlessly, so seamlessly - that's a word that's not used nearly enough, in my estimation. The irony of using that while referring to Kim K. only upped the hilarity tenfold (at least).

You did a brilliant job with this, Kevin!

It was something I did while twiddling my thumbs after finishing Kinnara and when I was still itching to write. : )

Hi Hannah, I've read both of Kevin's books, and they bedazzled my perspicacity big time. I loved them. :-)

Thanks, Anne!
I was similarly bedazzled by The Human Ambit, which was one of my top favourite reads of 2016.

Cynthia Hamilton Hilarious, Kevin! Thank you for the 5-minute vacation!

I was secretly hoping it was an excerpt from your latest WIP. I know, I'm impatient - it's one of my more endearing qualities. ;-)

I didn't know about your website - I'm going to check that out right now...

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for reading, Cynthia!
Posting an excerpt from my WIP is a great idea (and one I'd never thought of). I shall do that nearer to publication.
Thank you for the very kind comments!

Laysee Hi Kevin, I'm obviously very late to this party. Is this a snap shot of a new book? It's hilarious. Love it.

Omigod, nothing like the new book (which is way more literary and nasty).
I wrote this one afternoon immediately after I'd sent off a completed manuscript (Kinnara), but still harboured a compelling urge to write.
I call it a five-minute piece of whimsy.
And thank you so much for reading it, Laysee! : )


message 32: by Laysee (new)

Laysee You're most welcome, Kevin! It's highly entertaining and I can almost hear you chuckling as you write this "piece of whimsy". :-)

I didn't know either, until one of my Goodreads friends suggested I write something on my Goodreads blog.
Hope you enjoyed looking up Kim Kardashian's bottom!
