Have you ever been out wandering around say to New York City or the West Coast or virtually any place in or out of the country, and happy to get home you finally arrive at DFW and get on the last leg of your home to Bowie County. You have been listening to English improperly spoken, that is to say the wrong accent all week. And when you get on the plane home from DFW the sweet tones of the East Texas accent are like music to your ears. And of course we don’t have as profound an accent as was once the case. Media have mellowed our once distinctive way of speaking English.
I’m sure when people look at my early-Saturday-morning Walmart shopping cart full of fruits and vegetables and products from Asia and India with names that begin with Q and Z, they’re thinking, “My word, man, how can you live without frozen sausage biscuits and a 12-pack carton of soda pop?”
Even during a pandemic, it’s best to not mess with Texas.
So, I have decided that I do not want to play football anymore. I am thinking I may be small, and from what I have seen, those guys are BIG!
