The Town Drunk

The town drunk felt a dire need to wee-wee! In the park he found a sycamore tree. As the cops led him away, The old souse was heard to say, "Where e'er you be, let yer water flow free!" Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (c) All Rights Reserved

Hi Robert; This is good. I thought you were going to write about President Grant. I went to visit his home, when I lived up mNorth. They say that at one time he was the town drunk. Thank you for liking ( Horse Deal ) Lucilla

Cute one..Enjoyed reading this one today..Being intoxicated makes a person do and say things that they would not normally do and say..I hope at this time that you and Vera are just fine..Sara
