Nope, that rumor you heard ain’t true. Ol’ Geez is right here still kickin’. Oh I been busy for sure. Even ol’ Santa needed some extra help this
year. Some of them elves found out they
could go on welfare and didn’t have to work.
I kinda lent a hand. But I’m back
now. You know I wouldn’t forget 'bout my
neighbors.
Gotta tell ya 'bout somethin' that happened a couple weeks ago. I was comin’ back from helpin’ Santa and I
seen there weren’t no 8’ blowup snow globe thing in Jethro’s yard. He’s been stickin’ that thing out front for
‘bout 3 or 4 Christmases now. Right there next
to his flowering cherry where he hangs all them fake candy canes. Well sir, I figure Jethro got sick or
somethin’. So I stopped by to check on him. I was mighty relieved to find
him happy and well.
Jethro says he only put that thing up to please his daughter
‘cause she and her husband bought it to modernize his Christmas display. They thought the candy-cane tree was too old
fashioned. Says he got tired of that
buzzin’ fan all night long and the thing lookin’ like a canvas covered pile of cow manure all
day. Reckon I tend to agree. Sure glad he’s feeling chipper these
days.
Well neighbor, I want to wish y’all a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year! And if you ain’t learned
English yet, ¡Feliz Navidad y prospero Año Nuevo! Now go learn your English!
Justan O. Geezer
