Agnes by Tony Cochran for May 21, 2024

What is “Morder”? And how does Agnes know about it?

Nothing like a positive attitude to get you through the day.

Good one, Tony … the onset of a new direction for Agnes, or more of a one-off?

Wait until you get sentenced to elementary, junior, and high. It will be 12 years of complete and total misery.

Then if you are lucky, you get 4 or 5 years of parties and rushes along with drudgery in university.

Where I was, at that age, there was no “preschool” nor “kindergarten.” I wandered the fields & taste tested the crops. Horse corn is better before it’s turned into corn-nuts or hominy.

I like her spin.

In my mind, Merle Haggard and LOTR don’t go together.

They did manage to teach Agnes how to write and spell in spite of her lack of desire for knowledge.

This book will never sell unless she adds stuff about puppies

As creative as she is, she has a future as a writer!

I hear the train, a comin’, it’s runnin’ round the bend……….

looking back now, “mordor” perfectly captures how i felt about middle school and high school…

I can totally relate. Preschool wasn’t common when I was little, and when my mom asked me if I’d be interested in it, I was like, “Nah, I’m good.” I was happy with the status quo, like Agnes. When I got sentenced to kindergarten a year later, I felt like life as it was meant to be had come to an end.
