now hold--i say, hold on now.
hawk or no hawk, it ain't right
for that boy to go terrorizin'
older folks like that

shootin' them with arrows,
callin' himself big chickenhawk
engine and dancin' with
his feathered head-piece
like some crazy mohawkin

Henery's silly as Sylvester
Puddy Tat, and as senseless as
that old crow, Jim

so what if his kind hunts and
eats what we are--he's still a boy!

i tell him, "you can't--i say,
can't go makin' more noise than
a couple of skeletons throwin'
a fit on a tin roof, sonny

"and it ain't--i say, ain't smart to
go round bitin' folks bigger than you
that's how you get hurt"

Miss Prissy tell me all the time
to let the boy be; that at his age
he's practically harmless

and i always tell my lammy pie
there's a whole--i say, whole 'lotta
eggs with the crazy notion that
they're too fresh for they own yolk

at his age, he need--i say, need
to learn to mind us better, honey bun
and stop all this nonsense 'bout
survival of the fittest and all these
other theories of hatred

Barnyard Dawg ain't--i say,
ain't much better for yokin'
the boy along with his mischief.
tellin him new ways to trap me

that's why i waited 'til he was
sleepin' to tell sonny he been lied to
for so long and that all--i say, all
this time, i've been a horse

i point to that silly dawg--
all smiles as he probably dreams
up new ways of torturing me

there--i say, there's your
chicken, boy. all four legs.
go on over and taste him, sonny.
i'm sure you'll like it.

I dug this... there's a lot of insight in this piece. I like how you chose Foghorn to tell it.

i tell him, "you can't--i say,
can't go makin' more noise than
a couple of skeletons throwin'
a fit on a tin roof, sonny

"and it ain't--i say, ain't smart to
go round bitin' folks bigger than you
that's how you get hurt"

Brilliant.

loved this
i can't even lie. i thought the inclusion of cartoon characters was gonna make this a cheesefest, but it was hardly the case
everything jumped off the screen and i could visualize the whole thing playing out.

well done.

and such a joy to read.

funny how a number of episodes popped into my head while reading these lines:

so what if his kind hunts and
eats what we are--he's still a boy!

i tell him, "you can't--i say,
can't go makin' more noise than
a couple of skeletons throwin'
a fit on a tin roof, sonny

"and it ain't--i say, ain't smart to

Miss Prissy tell me all the time

he's practically harmless

and i always tell my lammy pie

eggs with the crazy notion that
they're too fresh for they own yolk

i like the way you crafted this; adding (what i thought) was today's life lessons in the voice of foghorn leghorn. the language used is stellar, Gio... simply stellar. well-written...
