Funny What One Remembers (@ 1968)
A good friend of my mother, was Gladys Walker she was an English teacher, from Marshall High School back in the 1960's when my mother was a Home Economics teacher, at the same school. One day, she came over to our house for a visit. I remember walking into the living room and mom said, "Robbie, do you remember Mrs. Walker?" I just smiled and sat down, on the couch next to mom. For no reason, Mrs. Walker looked at me and said, "Do you know the difference between a single petunia and a double petunia?" I said, "no ma'am, what is the difference?" She proceeded to tell me, this ....
A petunia is a flower, like a begonia.
A begonia is something you eat, like a sausage.
You can get arrested for sausage and battery, cause that's a crime.
Monkeys crime trees and trees a crowd.
Roosters crowd in the morning and that's a noise.
You have a noise on your face and also two eyes.
The opposite of eyes is nays.
A horse nays and a small horse is called a colt.
If, you go to bed at night with a colt, you may wake up in the morning with double-petunia.
It's funny what one remembers, almost 50 years, ago!
