Haywood County's Funniest Animals
Our tale takes place in the subminiature town of Stanton, TN, in the year of 2002. Sit back, relax, and try not to laugh too hard.
I remember the day that mom brought Lee Roy home. (He was being picked on by the other roosters at the chicken farm where he was from.) My sister screamed in joy and my brother mumbled sweet, cool, or something else of that nature.
He, over-all, got along with the other animals, except for Jack the Cat. Who to this day doesn't go near that pesky chicken.
The cause of thier rivalry? Does the saying curiosity killed the cat mean anything to you?
Even as I write this I can't help snickering. I mean can you blame me? Ohh... wait. I forgot. I haven't told you the story yet. Have I?
It all went down, as they might say, only a week after Lee Roy's arrival at our house. The rooster was getting ready to bed down for the night when Jack Cat dicided to check the strange looking creature out.
Well that dumb cat didn't have his head in the coop long enough to even look around before I hear a screach and a crow. While my dad is still trying to figure out what was making all that racket Jack Cat comes running around the corner of the house, all the way up my dad's back, hissing and screaming in the process. About that same time Lee Roy has caught up with the little trespasser.
Now picture this, Lee Roy starts chasing my dad around the yard who is, at the moment, still holding on to a very fired up and angry kitty cat.
To get the rooster to leave him alone, my dad throws Jack across the yard. Guess what? It worked. The possessed poutry acualy follows the cat.
In a frenzy to escape, Jack the Cat runs up the nearest tree, causing the rooster to run full speed into the trunk of the unexpecting oak.
And people call me stupid.
