The Humorous Side To My Country Life

https://soundcloud.com/kentucky-gal/2012-10-24-12-47-20-774the


Now Y'all have had embarrassing moments that happen to you. 
Well, I had some myself that I thought I'd share that are true. 

Ahh, the humorous side to my country life for me. 
From one day to the next I never know where it will take me. 

Once I was out doing my yard work content and happy you see. 
When all at once the farmers pony was running after me. 

From time to time his peacocks and turkeys head over my way. 
And a stubborn old goat will definitely ruin ones day. 

I've even had to deal with a bee flying up my shorts as I ran around. 
Because my lawn mower ran over his hive in the ground. 

Once a mouse climbed inside my nightie while watching t.v. 
And a farm rat on steroids hid in the bathroom looking up at me. 

But I think the funniest thing to happen to me I'd say.... 
Is when I backed my butt into the electric fence one day! 

I let out a holler and laughed then and now. 
My what a relief no one saw but the big old brown cow...lol 


** Hope y'all can see it's not always a peaceful day in the country for me!...:)

This jerks at our funny bone in innocent fun, showing that country life has its own perils. Emile.
