"...The next morning, it was a Monday morning. My momma told me to get on the scoo bus and tell aaall a my friends that we's gonna have a rat killin saturday. I got on the scoo bus and I said we're gonna have a rat killin saturday. Them folks come from aaall over the county with they dogs and they sticks, to help us kill them rats. One day we worked our way to the far corner and there's just a whole bunch of them rats flushed outta that corncrib at the same time. It 'as so many of 'em that broke through the ranks and run and got under a concrete slab and we couldn't get 'em out from under there. We dug, we drawed up water and poured down them holes; tried to drown 'em. And drectly Uncle Versie Ledbetter, my closest neighbor, and he was the head rat killer in our community.

I am told if we can get that A model car cranked yonder, and back it up to that concrete slab and put that inner tube around the zaust pipe and run the other end of that inner tube down under that concrete slab and get that truck cranked and go to racin that motor. I am told that it manufactures somethin up in that engine that when you guth it down that zaust pipe, it'll make 'em come out from under there.' Uncle Versie got her cranked and revved that motor up..waaaaaaam waaaaaaaaam....Now folks y'all ain't never had no fun unless you have stood with a stick waitin for them carbonmonoxided sick rats to come out from under that slab. Now that is some fun." Just had to put that up. The gopher thing brought it to mind. A little Jerry Clower humor to lighten the post. God bless. --old fashioned farmer
