Satire in Absurdville

Jack Lexington

--

Once upon a time, in a land ruled by overly serious politicians, there was a peculiar town named Absurdville. In Absurdville, everything was delightfully nonsensical, and the townsfolk revelled in the absurdity of their everyday lives.

The mayor of Absurdville, Mayor Clueless, was renowned for his baffling decisions. One day, he declared that all citizens must wear mismatched socks as a sign of unity and individuality. The town’s inhabitants, always up for a laugh, eagerly followed the mayor’s decree. Streets were filled with people wearing bright neon socks on one foot and fluffy polka-dot socks on the other. It was a sight to behold!

Meanwhile, the town’s only supermarket, “The Confusion Market,” began speculating on Mayor Clueless’s commands. They started selling oranges labelled as “Anti-Gravity Fruit” and bananas wrapped in mystery cloths, promising that they would provide x-ray vision. Customers flocked to the supermarket, laughing as they collected their magical fruits.

At the local library, the shelves were filled with books titled “The History of Tea Parties on the Moon” and “Unicorns: From Myth to Reality.” Librarian Ms Absurdia delighted in organizing wacky tea parties and epic unicorn races. The imagination of the townspeople continued to soar as they read these fantastical tales.
