THIS OLD HOUSE ~ STUART HAMBLEN ~ BLUE GRASS ACCOMPANIMENT !
THIS really is a Spooky Tale ~ but I must recount it
In all its Spooky detail ere I start to doubt it !
Id driven to an obscure place ~ to survey Real Estate
My Firm had purchased recently ~ to build something great.
My car broke down ~ quite far from home ~ I had no PHONE
When suddenly behind the trees ~ I saw a Home from Home !
Old Fashioned House with covered porch ~ OK it seemed to me
That I might find a PHONE ~ a CAR ~ perhaps a Cup of Tea !
BUT when I entered ~ through the Door ~ I could hear no sound
Dirt & Neglect & Dust of Time lay thickly on the Ground !
I turned to go ~ when suddenly the whole scene was changed
Oil Lamps gleamed and the whole room had furniture arranged
My heart stood still ~ could this be true ~ or just a DEJA VU ?
A MAID appeared and asked me *SIR what canst I do for YOU ?*
I almost asked could I use the phone ~ but I had seen NONE
Or use their CAR but in that age there really wasn*t ONE !
Instead I asked *What Year is it* She answered *EIGHTEEN TEN*
*Could you please lend me a Horse ~ I*ll bring it back again !*
Fortunately in my purse ~ there was a GOLDEN DOLLAR
I gave it her in exchange for the HORSE and his COLLAR !
I galloped off and reached my HOME several hours later
I told the story to my Wife who laughed like an ALLIGATOR !
When I awoke next Morning ~ I found this rather weird
The Horse Id ridden the night before ~ had gone and disappeared !
But I didn*t feel too bad ~ she had my Golden Dollar
Which in 1810 would be *GOOD PRICE* for an Old Nag and his Collar !
I took my Truck to fetch my Car ~ I also took my WIFE
So she could see ~ when we got there ~ the House which served my Life !
When we got there ~ the house was bare ~ no answer to my HOLLAR
But on the floor ~ first thing I saw ~ was my GOLDEN DOLLAR !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN ~ 🧡🧡🧡
Have you ever had a DEJA VU ? An experience when you are
transported back in TIME ~ but not in SPACE. The HOUSE was
still there when I went back for my CAR ~ but in 2010 not 1810 !
