Some 'una around here blame It on Squire Gladmoney Debltside's television machine drawln' all the electric out of the clouds. .Tweren't that at alt And 'tweren't the low state of morals nor the' cussednesi of the party In power although them things hev been knowed to bring some powerfully dry weather. If It were the Demycrats, we'd had a drought fer 20 yars, and Lord knows we've had some gully washers wash-ers in them yars. A fellow's got to make up his mind which he wants to blame the Demycrats fer flood or drought, not both. As fer morals. It's rained several times since Aunt Effle Toadhopper threw away her pipe and picked up cigarettes, besides painting her toenails. And no matter what Parson Peters sea, 'tweren't folks not payln the preacher that brought the parched spell. We paid him enough fer goods received, and some of his sermons were as dry as the weather. Tweren't cause it don't rain nights In July, as Aunt Efflie sez, or on account of the atom bomb out there In Nevada. No sir I I'm the one who brought on that drought 'twas wlfe-beatin' that done it. Seems that warm weather always makes Belle, my wife, lazy. On a warm June day, I can't get her started in the corn patch until after sun-up. This summer, what with the beetles and the blight, I started beatin' her. We ain't had a drop of rain since I fust laid a hoe handle on her. I want to tell my neighbors right now I'm sorry. But wife beatin' is alius good for a long drought. And Belle needs a few blows along about dandelion greens time every yar. Mebbe it's breakin good hoe handles that causes the drought, but I think it's the cussedness of Belle. |
