Pappy, shouldn't you have invited Dr. Water Hose or Nurse Sprinkler or the Reverend Frogstrangler over to treat that yard while there was still time?

Pappy heard a rumor from the maters that there was one blade o' grass left alive in the yard. So I borried a pair o' Mammy's scissors, packed up the mule with some supplies an' a few gallons o' drankin' water, an' set out across the burnin' wasteland o' the yard to cut the grass (singular). I finally located that Lone Blade o' Grass o' the Apocalypse, a-settin' by itse'f at the bottom o' the hill in the shade. He looked up at me an' asked, "Are you an assassin?"
"I reckon you must be the last o' the mighty Fescue," I said.
"Not Fescue. Rebel Blend." He looked off across the yard an' told me his story. "We came here when this land was bare. Our seed covered the ground, too numerous to count. We took root and grew and became a mighty lawn as far as the eye could see. Well, as far as your ol' rheumy eyes could see, anyway." I conceded that last point with a shrug.
He continued, "We lived in harmony and gave back to the land. But after a time, the rain drops came no more. My people suffered. Many died. Our only hope now is in the prophecy. Last night, before he took the journey, a Med'cine Man drank the magic potion and had a vision.
'A Cracker will dance,' the Med'cine Man said. 'Rain clouds will gather. Cows will gather. The lawn will yet be mighty if the cloud council does the right thing. Maybe on Monday.'
So, I sit and wait for the prophesy to be fulfilled," he concluded.
"That sounds familiar..." I said.
"Hey, wait a minute," Rebel Blend said, starin' at me with a look o' dawnin' recognition in his eye. "It's you! You're the Med'cine Man! You were out here last night, laid out on the yard prophesyin' weren't you?"
"Could be," I pondered. "We're at the bottom o' the hill where I usually end up. Hee hee!"

I second that motion.
Pappy you ain't right, but your writing is absolutely hilarious.
You put Lewis Grizzard to shame.

Morning All!! It is wonderful and wet out this morning. The guineas didn't know what to think. One was so upset she rushed back in the chicken house while I chased the others out side. The tomatoes have lifted their heads and are proudly standing. The only negative this morning is Mr. Skunk is in the barn and in this kind of weather he smells particularly bad. Hopefully he will eat all the cat food he needs, not spray the dogs and go back in to the woods quickly.
Everybody enjoy this rain. I hear Pappy's Rebel Blend just agrowing.

Mornin' All!
Pappy's story tickled me and that little blade of grass sounded so pitiful so I decided to start my dancin' early.

You weren't doing any 'dirty dancin' were you Crackah? Course, if you was, it will all get washed off with this rain. Whatever you was a doin' it worked.
Thanks for bringin' us all this rain. My grass is growing sideburns now.
