To Rocky Top
British White Cattle
We enjoy life way out here in the good old Ozark country. We have the best and only God, and our cows are first class.
The bulls are most gentle that I have ever been around and are famous for low birth weights. The cows are noted for their ability to birth live calves almost always without need of your help.
We grow some real good ticks and our rocks are the best. Heard a man say the other day that he killed a tick with a dog on it. I think he shot it!
I saw a man the other day that had boots, a hat and a horse but he didn't have any cows. We just figured he must be a horseboy instead of a cowboy.
I heard an old man reply to some young guys. holding their pants up with one hand and said, hey old man what’s happening? He didn’t miss a beat and replied, I got silver hair on my head and real gold in my real teeth and my head is bigger than a quarter and a gun to blow holes in puffed up wise offs, to give'm air so they can breathe. I believe if he’d of stomped his foot, they would have started running. He wasn’t the most congenial fellow I’ve ever seen but I liked him.
This all puts me in mind of the Irishman I met in Grabball Tennessee when I was
about ten years old. He was about 80 and it was the early 60's. Folks had begun grilling
outside. He said, "people have lost their minds; they've gone to cooking outside and going to the
pot inside." He'd faint if he could see folks today. Our intellectual diet each day contains servings of
cloning, homosexuality, sexuality, abortion, viagra, representation without taxation and reverse, folks
complaining about an economy, while driving on gas at three dollars a gallon and driving cars that average
around twenty thousand dollars.
I was in Walmart the other night and I decided I'd purchase me some new drawers. I found drawers
that had hot peppers, Sponge Bob and I looked to the next isle. I smirked thinking what in the world
would someone want with these. While I was going through the parking lot with my new drawers tucked
privately in a sack; I saw a young man with a big soda in one hand and holding up his britches with the
other. He wasn't doing a very good job because I saw his drawers which also needed holding up. His
hair was fuzzed up, had a stud in his nose and had about a month of peach fuzz growth on his face. There
were three more similar to him right behind him. We beheld each other like we had just either left or
entered the twilight zone. I know it is explained that they are trying to find themselves but if they don't
hold on to them britches; the whole world will find them first. All I could think of was Legion fully clothed
after he saw and received Christ and was in his right mind. I've been called senile because I forgot to zip
up my pants but now I feel right smart. At least I don't have parts about to escape.
Oh well, keep shining and be a good as you can be and when you have a chance; you pray for me.
May God Really Bless You!
We've
spoken with this expert and he stakes his life on
the fact that beef is healthier and more
economical than poultry.
This
expert says, British White cattle are some of the
prettiest cows I've ever seen and the calves are
the prettiest for sure. She feels those
black cows are shiny and nice but feels some British White blood would improve them so much.
This bull which requests to remain unidentified,
when asked about the British White cows, simply
stated "Moooooooooooo!!!!!"
