“This meeting of the Okefenokee Creatures Association will come to order. I am your chairperson, Pogo the Possum. Please stand, crawl, hop or slither as you are able and recite the OCA pledge: ‘I pledge allegiance to the Okefenokee Swamp and the peat upon which it stands. One swamp, indivisible, with rivers and justice for all, except drag-miners. Amen!’”
