Animal Crackers
Moving day, I drove to Mom’s. She stood surrounded
by hobby farm animals. The farmer who was moving the animals didn’t show.
I made some calls; soon realizing we
were on our own. The new owners arrived, annoyed we were still there. An hour
later, we headed out in my hatchback, the backseat tied to the roof.
Almost at the new farm, a police car
pulled me over. The officer leaned through the open window speechless..
Barclay barked. The parrot shouted: “Hello.” The ducks quacked and Dickens,
the goat bleated before leaning forward to grab the officers shiny shirt
buttons.
“I’m
sorry I missed the stop sign, Officer. The kitten ran under the brake pedal and
I didn’t want to hurt him. We’re just a ways down this road.”
He pulled back, shaking his head and
laughing. “I’m not even going to ask. Carry on and drive safe.”
