Mama clerked at the Dry Goods store in beautiful, downtown Jigger. They just got in a brand new shipment of shoe-laces, and among them was the Very Pair of Purple shoe laces that I had my heart set on. Theyd look Gooooood on my Converse tenny-shoes. Problem was...they cost a Whopping thirty-two cents...a Kings Ransom. ! SO I started saving my nickels and pennies...Just about the time I had saved-up 19 cents, Mama busted my bubble. She said to me You know that pudgy, pig-tailed gal what rides the school-bus with choo ? Well, shes taken a shine to yew, and bought you a Christmas Present. SO-O-O-O You gotta buy her one too. Now fork-over that 19 cents. Boy Howdy, that knocked me for a Loop ! Said to myself, Well, So Long to the purple shoe-laces. That pudgy pig-tailed gal just Rurned my Christmas. Mama came home that night beaming like a mule chawin saw-briars and presented me with that pudgy gals present. I took it...but immediately Stormed out of the house ! Kicking pebbles, I made my way to the pond behind our home. Drew back the pig-tailed Gals STUPID Christmas present and ALMOST flung it into the pond...But, at the last moment, I drew back my throwing arm and decided to open the box. Who Knows ? Maybe I could sell her DUMB OLE present for enough to get my 19 cents back..Reluctantly, I eased the box open.....and...There...Before my eyes...lay a pair of Purple Shoe Laces, just like the ones my heart desired. Since that time on...I have always had a secret spot in my heart for pudgy, pig-tailed Gals...They are goodern snuff.
