tj's Terrific Travels and Terrible Travails

Frustrated at the slow pace of his crossings, TJ came across a gaggle of Haup monsters from Hauppage, NY.  These creatures were famous for their ability to get somewhere fast by way of their hoppability.  Now TJ, being in a hurry, lassoed 3 of these beasts....which only made them angry.  They began to hop  every which way, destroying everything in their path.  Two of them even stomped TJ.  Thinking their hoppability to be mere hype, TJ released 2 of the worthless demons.  He held on to the 3rd Haup.  He hid behind its weak end, hoping that its anger would settle down.  It didn't.  This one stomped on TJ too, completing the hat trick of carnage.  TJ wasted yet another day, resting and recuperating.
