But why did I get to march in front of the bass drum? That hurts when he forgets to stop. So I moved to the back of the horn line, the the contra player hits me. Can't win. Carried a flag once, we turned a corner and ended up in a strip club the wind was so strong. (cough cough) Imagine that a Shriner's marching band playing the stripper in a strip club. Never. Really, well, maybe. Nor did the horn line ever stand in the swimmin pool at midnight playing jingle bells to the cops. They are still looking for 2 horses in Baltimore when the drum line started up not seeing those horses passing us. Those hosses shoulda been in the Kentucky Derby, or maybe that's where they were headed. And yes we did get passed by an 8 year old girl, who wrapped her goat's rope around her waist and when the goat went by draggin a red bag we had no idea it was a kid with a snowsuit on. Man that goat could run and drag a girl 3 blocks. I swear I did not laugh. Much.
