One time when iâs growinâ up -- it was when iâs a kid -- there was nothinâ to do at home so I called up on a friend anâ said letâs pack us a box lunch anâ go down to the nishnabotna anâ go
Minâ. anâ maybe look for some toads.
My friend said he thought thatâs a good idea âcause he didnât have nothinâ to do either anâ he was outta toads.
So we packed up our box lunches anâ we started out a-walkinâ, anâ we come to a big iron bridge which was five miles from town where we observed a big sign which says west nishnabotna
Ays this hereâs the place, anâ, anâ now if we could just find some toads anâ go for a good swim, we could have fun all day doinâ nothinâ, just loafinâ around in the creek.
We jumped into that dirty water anâ I thought we might be able to swim in it, but we quickly discovered that we could not even begin to dog-paddle in it. be, because right where we was, the nish
Na was only four-anâ-a-half inches deep. so we wound up a-crawlinâ along down on all fours in it, through the mud anâ beer cans anâ yucky things anâ old pieces aâ cars.
We went past a bunch aâ fenders anâ a couple aâ plymouth hubcaps, when we come to a place where we thought there might be some toads. when we was surprised by a farmer who told us to get on out
Ere anâ to never come back or heâd call up the sheriff anâ have us put into jail for the rest of our natural-born lives with nothinâ to eat but bread anâ water so weâd starve.
But time passes by real quickly when youâre havinâ fun, so we ran through the fenders and the mud to the bridge again. but when we got back there we sadly discovered that the sun had been out an
Backs was all blistered so bad we had to lay flat on our bellies for two weeks in bed which made us sick to our stomachs anâ we didnât care about nothinâ anymore.
It just ainât too good for your livers to go swimminâ in that river. you can get cut up pretty bad in there anâ there ainât too many toads.
Thereâs nothinâ but, thereâs nothinâ but mud in there anâ thereâs all kinds aâ crud, anâ itâs layinâ all over the place so youâd better watch out.
If you wanna get sick, just go crawlinâ around in that creek. thereâs a whole lot aâ bad things that can happen to you.
No, it ainât, no, it ainât good for your liver to hunt toads in that river. the west nishnabotna is the creek of my childhood.
