The Calamity of the Deep South.
June 16, 2020
On a mid summer afternoon, Lew and Jim Tredway enjoy time at the local county fair in the deep south of Louisianan. Watching donkey's race around a quarter mile track.
The scent of manure and old hay hang heavy until a clear country breeze refreshes the air.
Hearing laughter and feeling the excitement and joy in living this country life. Jim focuses on the race at hand. Donkey number four who was in the lead STOPPED, in the middle of the track and sat down.
There was a pile up to the point of calamity from the back of the pack. As the other riders and their mounts with no time to react collide with poor number four.
Jim shout, "I'm Loosing my pants" as he laughs and looking on.
"It's not the first time," Lew says, as she reaches into her apron pocket and pull out a safety pin, "Pin your pants to your shirt and stop this nonsense." But before she can finish.
The excitement was too much for Jim and he looses hold of his pants and they fall to the ground.
The laughter of this, "Calamity" was much louder than that of the race.
The End, or should we say "his end".
