Conversations With the Old Man of Kenner Cats #3

Now in the last conversation with the old man of Kenner, I don't know about you, but I was impressed with his deep thinking on the subject of handling protesters. However, today, well, let's just say. Uh, well not so sure what to say. You see the old man and his dog Baxter spend a lot of time by the ole Mississippi river and in the woods on the levy. They see a lot of wild life, such as gators and coons, and stray cats. So a lot of his conversations are about them, but I do believe he stretches the truth, maybe a little bit. Now keep in mind he likes to make his house bound mom laugh. Then she scolds him for telling a whopper, so I just go along with what he says, since his mom is entertained.

Now Baxter, his dog, has an ongoing battle with the stray cats. So he has a lot of run ins with cats. The old man of Kenner said, “ Me and Baxter walked past them stray cats today. Dey start singing Ray Charles song, Hit the Road Jack. Don't come back no more, no more. Hit the road Jack. So Baxter sang back to them, I don't care what you nasty cats say, I am in the hood to stay. The old man of Kenner joined Baxter and chanted, yeh u rite, we is here to stay, we is here to stay!”

One day they were walking by a Baptist church and this cat was sitting by the door of the church. The old man said, “ hey kitty, I did not know cats were Baptists. “ The cat responded, “ I used to be catlick, but my tongue got sore from all that catlickin going on, plus all the hairballs ya had to spit out. Wears a poor cat out. With the Baptist, ya just hold their head under the water til dey say dey is saved or uncle, whatever, comes first. Now let me get back to my cat napping. By the way, Is you saved sir? “ To which the old man of Kenner replied, “Mr. Kitty, I am a good boy.”

“Now getting back to the feud Baxter the dog has with the cats, one day the cats slapped a restraining order on Baxter for chasing them. It says he has to stay 500 feet away from them and cannot bark at them after midnight. Baxter's lawyer took care of that. He was a dog, too, and chased that judge right out of the court room and peed all over his restraining order. He is a good dog. “

So like I said at the start, maybe the truth is stretched a little bit. Maybe, this should be called, Tall Tales By the Old Man of Kenner.
