I Mess It Hall

“¿Authorization to dig here?”

“Authorization granted.”

“Hey, I’m trying to eat here, ¿OK?”

“Authorization granted.”

“Augh.” The mess hall eater rose & stormed out, only to be blocked by 2 guards in checkered uniforms.

“Authorization not granted.”

They grabbed him & escorted him back to the lasagna floor where Cap’n Emery was still digging into volcanic tomato paste & sat him back down to his fork & knife.

“Now, we’re all going to have a good family meal, ¿OK?” said the omniscient voice sternly.

Both Emery & her brother looked downward & said, “Yes, Commander.”

Prompt:

Authorization, Mess, Shovel
