Joe and I sat on pickle buckets shucking corn awhile and talked, well Joe talked I listened with uncharacteristic calm He could tell a story, I’d give him that, if I’d had a tall glass of iced vodka I could have leaned back, leisurely picking at the plump ears and listened all night But just when I was figuring out how to get those little strings free from between the kernels, Rita yelled, ‘Get ready boys, here they come’ ‘Here they come’, Joe repeated with genuine excitement, collecting his pile of perfectly stripped corn along with the few I’d managed to clean to his satisfaction ‘You know how to do dishes Goober?’, he asked, enjoying the moniker a lot more than I was ‘I think I can handle it, what’s there to know?’, I tried not to sound annoyed at the question ‘Bet that’s what ya thought about shuckin’ corn’ |
