Town Dumps !
Speaks Volumes about the, 'age' of some people here.
Drive a bicycle, with a uncased 22 pump across the handle bars.
To the hardware store down town. Buy a box of 22 shorts for .24 cents.
Then ride to the dump, and shoot rats.
Everybody had a, 'burning barrel' in their back yard.
On a Spring day, Everyone in town, stood in their front yard,
with a shotgun, shooting Grackles.
And the local Rod & Gun club, would drive up and down the streets,
and throw the grackles in the back of a PU.
(And take them to the dump)
Of course, that was when, when, the church bell would tole,
someone would put a 'X', over the, population sign at the edge of the City, paint in one number less below it.
