Welcome to Bawdsville!

This is one from a new publication I am working on which is a follow up to my Bawdville book…

Gervis Fife and Fannie Mae were sitting at a table at their high school reunion.  Gervis  kept staring at a drunken bag of a woman who was swiggin’ and chuggin’ her drinks alone at a nearby table.  The hag kept givin’ Gervis cold glances every chance their eyes met.  If looks could kill she’d would have been huntin’ out of season that day.

Finally, Fannie Mae had enough.

“Do you know her?” Fannie asked.

“Yep,” said Gervis, “I shol do.  That’s Virginnie Lou Cooper.  She’s my old girlfriend.  I feel sorry for her condition cause I hear tell she took to drinking right after we split up those many years a go.  She ain’t been sober since.”

“Glory be!” said Fannie Mae, “How could a person celebrate for so long?”
