Going Down

When Doc Johnson and his boy Jimmy,
Crossed the old bridge it started to squeak
Half way across,the bridge gave out
They fell forty foot down to a creek!

They sure were not expecting that.
When someone took them back to town,
Doc said, "We didn't really get hurt,"
"But it was a hell of a ride going down!"

Based on a true story. The last line verbatim from a guy hauling water. Over 30 years ago and still a funny memory! Thanks for the comment! 80] RPA
