"Fallin Skies"

By: Bascomb Biggers

 

 

I was readin about the big snow storm up in Atlanta the other day and I got quite a chuckle readin about how everybody was blamin the mayor and the governor for what a big mess they had.  Now, the mayor is a Polecat (Democrat) and the governor is a Skunk (Republican), and you know what Old Bascomb thinks about those two parties; "they both stink".  I got pretty tickled readin about all the finger pointin that was goin on, and it reminded me of a little mess we had down here in Nankipooh a while back.

 

A few years back, the Standing Boy Creek overflowed its banks durin a heavy downpour and washed away old Josh Green's chicken coop.  Now Josh was really upset cause he lost three of his prize layin hens, and he thought the mayor of Nankipooh ought to buy him some new chickens, since nobody in the government came by and told old Josh that the creek might flood during a heavy rain.  How was he to know, just because the creek floods every time it rains hard.  After all the mayor and the government are supposed make sure that bad things don’t happen to us.

 

In a related story, Chicken Little called the Enquirer to let us know that the sky was fallin, but we decided not to print the story, since it is the governor's responsibility to let folks know about things like that, in order to make sure that folks don’t get caught outside lookin up just as the sky starts to fall.

Of course, you know that Old Bascomb don't think much of big government, and I shore don't  like the Skunks and the Polecats much either.  But it seems to me that the government has got its hands full runnin things and doin what they are supposed to be doin, without havin to be in charge of the weather too.  Back when I was farmin, I didn't need for the governor to come by and tell me to cover up my strawberries every time we had a frost comin.  Farmers know that when it comes to the weather, you got to pay attention, and look out for yourself.  If more folks would look out for themselves instead of expectin the government to do everything for them, the country might be a little better off.
