Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for September 05, 2019

Well, that’s what squirrels do, isn’t it?

“I keep my eyes wide open all the time. Knowing full well, if I slip and try to catch myself, I’ll fry. Just keep you’re paws on one wire at a time, then you’ll be fine, to walk to line.”

How about Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Whenever you have a power outage that lasts about 5 seconds in duration, say a prayer for a deceased squirrel. 50% of outages are of this type and it means that some furry little bushy tailed rat met his demise by completing a circuit. The power company has it set up to interrupt the electricity long enough for its body to fall free of the wires.

Interesting.

How do they walk the line when everything is wire-less today? HA HA HA

“I’m just nuts about nuts

I wants them all day long…"

I wrote different lyrics to Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues.” I hear the dog a-barkin. He’s scratching at the door. If I don’t let him out soon, he’ll XXXX on the floor. But I know I had it coming. I should have let him out. Now I spend all my time…cleaning up my dirty old house. When he was just a puppy….. Too long to finish typing. It’s in chapter @@ of my book, Fractured Fairy Tales: Political Monkey Business, released in 2014. It’s in Chapter 11. Book has 35 chapters / fairy tales. Average length of each is about 1,000 words. Each is accompanied by a one-page cartoon by a good cartoonist you’ve probably never heard of, my friend Floyd Johnson. It’s on Amazon. I’m working on volume 2.

Forgot to mention this. Fractured Fairy Tales: Political Monkey Business author is me, Donald Hendon.

In keeping with the Johnny Cash theme, “Everybody Loves A Nut”.

The Pigeons are up next with ‘Bird on a Wire’.

he takes his tips and squirrels them away…

Open mic night does attract a lot of squirrely people.
