Barney in Burger King
Essay 5:
Jackass of All Trades
by
Barney, the Barnyard Philosopher

Some old, Some new, Some borrowed, Some blue


Dear Cypress;

          I was sitting in Burger King and my neighbor from the next farm came in.  He was reading the introduction I wrote for you and came to the paragraph listing the things you are involved in; he looked up and said, “He’s sort of a jackass of all trades ain’t he?”

          After I stopped laughing I told him you are an awesome preacher, a good shepherd, and wonderful counselor but I couldn’t testify of your mastery of other things.

          Cypress, I’m having some trouble on the mix in your essays; I can’t seem to keep them near my goal.

          There’s too darn much truth in them.

          Oh, well, it won’t hurt people to shed a tear now and then

Barney
