Yokels Hollering

Have I ever told you Logan’s mother’s story about the Yokel and the Huntsman? No? Well, it comes from a very old Punch cartoon.

Huntsman: “Where did you see the fox?”

Boy: “I ain’t seen no fox”

Huntsman: “Then what was ye hollerin’ for?”

Boy: “Cause I likes ‘ollerin’.”

Recently, some eighty years after the original cartoon was published, I had the good fortune to witness the rehearsals for the  twenty-first century re-enactment.

Here they are, four yokels, sittin’ ‘pon a fence,  ‘ollerin’.  (-:
