Politically correct today are things that we’ re supposed to say to stop a fight that starts a grudge that ends before a court and judge which lawyers dress in suits they seek to make some cash on how we speak so I admit there’ s things I’ ve said that in the past have usually led to confrontations of the sort that end up in Brown County court but what I say they find so funny instead of fines they pay me money since judge and jury like to sit and watch me stir things up a bit and so they paid my restitution as I took on our Constitution!
Now in our Congress in D. C why they’ re as weak as they can be since neither party left or right has the gumption left to fight for the critter in the wood like country people think they should!
We think we know the reason why for both them parties like to try at every place them parties went to use a mule and elephant to represent the type of schemes they’ d use to squash each other’ s dreams and leave their party in control with their own mascot on patrol whose elephants and stubborn mules invent the laws and make the rules! … but what they pass we all can tell has each critter kindda smell that every time we get a whiff we in the country wonder if wouldn’ t it be truly awesome if what we smell was only possum!
66 Our Brown County • May / June 2019
Why it’ s a smell we’ ve smelled before they’ ve been here since the dinosaur and we had mammoths and the horse but both became extinct of course so elephants and donkeys too are really critters rather new but possums with their unique tail have stayed right here and still prevail!
By any measure you can try they’ re older than the apple pie and let’ s be honest and be fair a possum’ s easy to prepare when making dinner or for lunch but elephant’ s a bit too much and in Brown County as a rule some folks don’ t like the taste of a mule!? … and possums are the kindda creature that have that most resilient feature which helped them last through all the ages by playing dead upon life’ s stages and so our judge said I’ m the sort to take our country into court for even though they ain’ t too nimble a possum’ s still the better symbol of how our Congress tries instead to collect their paycheck playing dead!? Now that’ s political correctness …
