Little Fish - Big Fish

 

I was fishin with my Grandpa one day at the old Blackmon pond, near Whitesville, and we was catchin some pretty nice shellcrackers, about the size of Granpa's hand.  I was fishin with a cane pole baited with red worms, and for one of the few times in my young life, I was catchin more fish than Grandpa.

 

About this time I see my bobber go under, and I pull up a small brim that was hardly worth keepin.  Well, as that little brim was flippin across the top of the water at the end of my cane pole, all of a sudden, this huge bass jumps a foot out of the water and grabs that little brim in his mouth.  Well he hit the water with that brim so fast and with such fury, that he snatched that cane pole right out of my hands and took out across the pond with it, and my Grandpa is still laughin!

 

Now right now down here in Nankipooh they are arguing about who they is gonna tax the most.  The plantation owners or the sharecroppers.  Well as we was listenin to them all talk about who was the best friend to us little folks, they was busy linein the pockets of the rich folks and themselves.  Even the mayor got in on it, sidin with the Skunk Party, even though he is a member of the Polecat Party.

 

You see they had us so busy watchin that little brim, that we was not payin attention when that big old bass come along, and not only took our little brim, but took our cane pole too.  What I am tryin to tell you is, that if you think a bunch of professional politicians are lookin out for us little folks, then you might as well hire a fox to guard your chicken house!

 

"Now, that's the way I see it, and you can tell'um I said so!"
