Bathroom Monologue: Beats a Neon Sign
What punk it was that set the cross ablaze in their yard, none of them
knew. There were guesses, with only so many people so low in Fleetwater,
and fewer spotted fleeing neighborhood as the Cartwrights desperately
tried to beat out the burning symbol of salvation. The old Cartwrights
were studied Methodists, but the young were new to the game and didn’t
quite grasp symbolism. The young Cartwrights went about with oil and
wood, and that next morning every potential offender awoke to burning
letters in his yard. A fiery ‘HE’ stood in Fords’ yard, and a minute
later another ‘HE’ lit up in Kip Gotch’s. They all got at least one
letter, and none of the Klan understood the message, but if you tried to
read it, starting with the burning cross in the Cartwrights’ yard as a
‘t,’ you could read the message across the street: “tHE HEll Is WRoNG
WITH YoU”.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Brilliant!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs far as I'm concerned, this Klan business is a load of white sheet. :)
