Son Of A Gun
its summer and school is out
and fun time for many Duplin
youths. I remember my sum
mers...especially those when
not too much was expected out
of me because of my age...my
summer uniform was a pair of
short pants and nothing else..no
shoes, no shirt, .just those short
pants, .oh yes 1 did have to have
a straw hat...I always wanted
one that looked like a torn mix
cowboy hat..and J wore it every
day for a couple of weeks..but
then it got old...or 1 left it out in
the rain and it came apart..then
the only time 1 wanted to wear it
was when we played cowboy..
with a tobacco stick as a horse..I
always would want a grading
stick, .they were slicker, .and you
didn't get splinters as you rode
around..slapping your side and
holding on to that old piece of
tobacco twine pert ending it was
the rope to Trigger..had to
watch it though..if you pulled up
real fast and jerked on the
lines..that old twine would bre
ak and your horse would fall
dead right between your legs..
backing that old hone up could
cause some discomfort too..if
the stick caught against some
thing..of course while you were
running or perhaps I should say
riding that trusty>v horse through
the years...Jt wjfs sort of life tip
, t|s i flpa ..alii
chickens wdt allowed to run
loose..and you had to be careful
were you put your foot...it
wasn't so bad if you stepped on
it with the middle of your
foot..the horse went lame for a
short time while you got a stick
and cleaned off his hoof..but
when you stepped on these
droppings with the front part of
your foot and it sort of eased up
between your toes ..well that old
horse had to take time out for
some delicate hoof trimming.
But be careful where you sit
down to do this cleaning job...or
you might find the same thing
on your pants...after tiring erf
riding tht old horse..you would
probably be a little hungry..so it
was into the kitchen while no
one was looking and sneak a
biscuit out of the safe..stick a
Bank Bag

good old cane syurp grand dad
had made..or maybe some store
boughten kero...the type mom
used to sweeten baby sisters
milk..Some time during the
summer it was necessary to slip
down into the back fields and
eat some fox grapes..at least
that is what they were called
then..and go along the ditch
banks and pick some Brierber
ries...eating green ones along
with the ripe ones...and with out
a doubt...some time during the
summer, .get your foot cut open
on a piece of glass...and most
summers would end up with the
ground itch..and several ris
ens.and if you were unlucky
some old rooster would flogg
you two or three times and
you'd go crying to mom...and
she would tell you to stay away
from him...of course you wanted
him whipped, .but back then this
old rooster was a valuable
chicken..with his help you al
ways had a pullet to eat come
Sunday.. .then there was always
waih day..when mom would
stack wood up around the wash
pot to bail the clothes..and yon
could net smutty and usually
end up getting a spanking..!

you know what..?! like the
change..but would not trade the
past with anyone....
1 saw Joe Lee Coctlta talking
with a man in a pickup truck this
week and being coitrious 1
walked over to see what was
going on..The man had been
fishing and had a truck load at
fish..Joe Lee asked the man how
much he wanted for some of the
fish...and he told Joe Lee he
could have all he wanted for one
dollar..And Joe Lee said oJt.
give me two dollars worth..Joe
Lee had so many fish he could
not put them in one pile...
