 “Chewin tobacco dribbled down from the corner of the mare’s mouth. She wiped up the spittle with a fetlock and, uh, tossed in a neigh-sigh aside: 'We’re free, over twenty-one, and at least you can vote,' she whinnied. The large huss then puckered up her lips, opened wide and presented me with a look into the chaw morass of mouth and
teeth before spitting a stream of tobacco juice into her glass. I smiled wide; then chuckled: 'Hey, never look a gift horse in the mouth.'* The mare guffawed; then laughed out loud -- a real horse laugh -- and rebutted: 'Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.'” ** * proverb from the public domain ** a song by Willie Nelson Please give to the American Cancer Society: 1552 Shoup Court/ Decatur, Georgia, 30033/ 800-227-2345, 404-327-9200

Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website. All quoted sources are noted. I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits were vetted, investigated, though the summer of 2018. The vetting lapsed in some cases afterwards or until the last blog on May, 31, 2021.
Kevin O'Kendley: [email protected]. Technical help was provided by a computer genius, my son, Conor O'Kendley. Photography was provided by a visual artist, my daughter, Caitlin O'Kendley. If your nonprofit is advertised on this site and you wish to have it removed please contact me at the above listed email address or use the contact form on the website. If you download a blog, cartoon, a short story -- or for any other reason -- and wish to donate $ to this site, its author and technical support personnel, please send donations payable to Kevin O'Kendley, 499 Broadway #138, Bangor, Maine 04401. My family and I could use the dinero. All cartoons, blogs, and short stories are for sale. Categories |
