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
