Today I looked out my front door.
And in the yard I saw a rat running
around a rabbit. The rabbit just
kindly moved on about his business
of eating whatever was green in the
yard or North field. The squirrels
mostly stayed to themselves.
Now you ask what about the snakes?
Of course I have a snake story for you.
But it seems I must introduce a new
animal to you. One that I have not
written of before. They can be very
dangerous. These four legged creatures
have tusks. You did see Old Yeller?
Yes indeed, wild hogs. Or more likely,
a mix of wild boar and domesticated pigs.
My uncle has always liked hunting them.
So he comes over and we walk through
the fields down near the swamp where
Amos Moses once lived. Those pigs have
been eating our crops and they must pay
the price.
On the way down to the swamp guess what
my uncle stepped on? You guessed right,
a big ole moccasin. My uncle seemed to
have a spring in his step. Luckily we had
took the precaution of taking what I like to
call the chopper. The snake is no more.
As for the pig, well that's another story...
