here is a good short story! Write them like this and send me one!
Well, like to explain to you all before,
I ain鈥檛 no drinkin鈥?man
I tried it once and it got me highly irregular
And I swore I鈥檇 never do it again
I promised my brother in-law that I鈥檇 go up and watch his still
While he went in to town to vote
It was right up on the mountain
where the map said it would be
Friends let me tell you one thing,
it wasn鈥檛 no ordinary still
It stood up on that mountainside
like a huge golden oak
God鈥檚 yeller moon shinin鈥?on the cool clear evenin鈥?br>
God鈥檚 little lanterns twinklin鈥?on and off in the heavens
Like I explain鈥檇 to you once before I ain鈥檛 no drinkin鈥?man
But temptation got the best of me
And I took a slash
That yella whiskey runnin鈥?down my throat
tasted like honey dew vine water
And I took another slash,
Took another鈥檔 an another鈥檔 an another鈥檔
For I knew I鈥檇 downed one whole jug of that ****
and commenced to gettin鈥?hot flashes
Goose pimples was runnin鈥?up and down my body
And a feelin鈥?came over me
somethin鈥?I鈥檇 never experienced before
It was like, like I was in love
In love for the first time, with anything that moved
Animate, inanimate it didn鈥檛 matter
It鈥檚 like there鈥檚 a great neon sign flashin鈥?on an鈥?off
in my brain sayin鈥?';Jimmy Buffett there鈥檚 a great day a comin鈥?quot;
`Cause I was drunk
I wasn鈥檛 knee crawlin鈥? slip slidin鈥? Reggie Youngin鈥?br>
Commode huggin鈥?drunk
I was God鈥檚 own drunk and a fearless man
And that鈥檚 when I first saw the bear
He was a Kodiak lookin鈥?fella `bout nineteen feet tall
He rambled up over the hill
expectin鈥?me to do one of two things,
Flip or fly, I didn鈥檛 do either one
It hung him up
He started sniffin鈥?around my body tryin鈥?to smell fear
But he ain鈥檛 gonna smell no fear `cause
I鈥檓 God鈥檚 own drunk and a fearless man
It hung him up
He looked right in my eyes, and my eyes
was a lot redder than his was
It hung him up
So I approached him, I said '; Uh Mr. Bear, I love
every hair on your twenty-seven acre body
I know you got a lot of friends over there
on the other side of the hill
There鈥檚 ole鈥?rare bear, tall bear, Pretty bear, Killy Jare
Really bear, smelly the bear, smokey the bear,
pokey the bear
I want you to go back over there tonight
And tell them I鈥檓 feelin鈥?right
You tell them I love each and everyone of them
like a brother and a sister
But if they give me any trouble tonight
I鈥檓 gonna run every God damn one of them off the hill';
He took two steps backwards and didn鈥檛 know what to think
Neither did I but bein鈥?charitable and cautious
I approached him again
I said ';Mr. Bear, You know in the eyes of the Lord
we鈥檙e both beasts when it comes right down to it
So I want you to be my buddy, Buddy bear';
So I took ole鈥?buddy bear by his island size paw
and I led him over to the still
He鈥檚 a sniffin鈥?around that thing cause
he鈥檚 smellin鈥?somethin鈥?good
I gave him one of them jugs of honey dew vine water
He downed it up right
Looked like one of them damn bears in the circus
Sippin鈥?sasparilly in the moonlight
I gave him another鈥檔 an another鈥檔 an another鈥檔
For I knew it he downed eight of them
and commenced to doin鈥?the bear dance
Two sniffs, a snort, a fly turn, and a grunt
It was so simple like the jitter bug
It plum evaded me
We worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar
And I was awful tired and went over to the hillside
and I laid down and went to sleep
Slept for four hours and dreampt me some tremulous dreams
When I woke up, there was God鈥檚 yeller moon
shinin鈥?on the clear cool evenin鈥?br>
God鈥檚 little lanterns twinklin鈥?on and off
in the heavens
My buddy the bear was a missin鈥?br>
Want to know something else friends and neighbors
So was that still
