Praising His Owner
The Taskmaster-Sir: ‘Kiss your master’s feet, boy!
Show him some respect and praise and bless him for owning you!’
The Slave: ‘Yes, taskmaster sir. At once taskmaster
sir… Oh pray mighty master sir, truly this slave is honoured to be your property,
sir, and will work hard for you and the mistress, sir, if it pleases you sir? God bless you and the mistress, most magnificent master sir!’
The Master-Sir: ‘That’s right, boy – kiss my feet.
And you better had work hard, boy. Otherwise you’ll feel the STING of my
taskmaster’s WHIP on your bony old back!
The Slave: Oh pray, master sir! Oh mercy, sir! Not
the WHIP, sir. I beg you, sir!’
The Mistress-Madam: Haha, that’s right, slave. Kiss
the feet of your master – a REAL man – and beg us for mercy. You’re here to
work, boy – to work or be WHIPPED!’
The Slave: Yes, mistress madam. Yes, master sir. I
kiss your feet, sirs.
The Taskmaster-Sir, the slave’s owner, and his owner’s pretty girlfriend all have the last laugh as they mock the cringing, grovelling old slave man at their feet!
