“ONE MORE SHOOFLY JUNCTION THING” by Bill Charles ~~~~ Once back then, Dorsel, that’s my step dad remember, well he was down in one of those dark, damp, and dreary coal mines mining coal one day, and when he was coming out of there the coal car left the tracks and he broke his neck after hitting the ceiling with his head, well if you happened to read one of the other parts of Shoofly Junction you would know that Dorsel has one heck of a hard head, as when Mom smacked him on top of it with a frying pan and knocked him cold when he was sneaking in the back window that one night we were out having a few, never did hurt that bald head, but you should have seen that darn frying pan all dented up, anyway he didn’t hurt it either when he hit the mine ceiling, just his neck, and you should have seen him with that halo on top looking like an angel, h’aaaaa, and his arm in a brace trying to drink a cold beer, I know it’s not funny, but he sure did look it… Now that he was really laid up it seemed that we were out getting into more and more trouble with mom, of course it was all his fault, but it seemed I was getting into more trouble than he was because I would take him home early and then I was on my own to meet with that good looker Patty Sue, who was the younger sister of Barbara Ann whom I was dating at the time, geez, I couldn’t keep things straight at all back then, must have been all that moonshine… Anyway, if I continue this I would be telling all my little secrets about some of my doings back then until all hours of the wee morning, I mean nothing really ever happened, hehehe, but whew, just to think about some of the happenings and people I met back there in that special place in my heart by the name of Shoofly Junction, just gives me the chills… ~~~~ |

Grinning at you...my ex-husband's second wife...I heard tell...beat him over the head with a frying pan more than a few times. Still I don't think he felt it...not because his head was so hard, but because he was full of those "cold ones." Thanks for this...I love the image it left in my mind. LOL Patricia |
