More Things I Remember--(3)

A poem:

Little birdie in the sky,
Why you do that in my eye?

I no worry, I no cry.
I just glad that cows don't fly.

You don't have to guess what brought that back.

When I was in seventh or eighth grade we did a school musical. It was the Pied Piper of Hamelin. I was one of the townspeople--the chorus. The script had a Town Crier who would run on stage every so often to announce " 'portant news!" about various things. Some were things to sort of nudge the progress of the plot. Others were comical asides about the rats or the town council.

Some of the Town Crier's messages were edited for local color. Some others were added.

The one that I remembered this morning was this:

" 'Portant news! 'portant news! The rats have eaten Father Bradley's trousers."

Maybe the label should be "Crazy things I remember." or possibly "Why'd I suddenly remember that?"

When I was in third grade, my dad would take me to school. We lived too close to ride the bus and too far to walk. Every day we got to school just behind Bus 3. The driver of Bus 3 gave me the nickname "Late Again."
