The Illegally Hung Wedding ShirtsBy The Ancient Florida NativeOnce upon a time….today….The Ancient Florida Native, hand-washed fourGuayabera shirts made of fine linen, that are to be worn for the up comingBeach wedding of her son. Being an expert on hand-washing and hangingclothes she was frustrated with the rules of the Home Owners Association, or HOA.There shall be NO clothes lines in the community.The Ancient one managed to think of a way to beat the rules by stretchinga rope between two palm trees, just long enough for the four shirts.The local birds were drawn to the sight of hanging shirts and seemed toknow instinctively, as if in their genes, that they are to do something tothe shirts, but not quite sure what. The Ancient One, sat on the patio with abamboo stick in her hand, fully prepared to whip the poop out of any birdthat perched on her line of wedding shirts.See the Mockingbird eyeballing the shirts?The ancient one was very clever to find a way around the rules of theHOA, and the nasty pooping Mockingbirds. It is most appropriate the Guayaberashirts were dried in the Florida Sun, between two palms and across from abunch of banana trees.The blue Guayabera belongs to the Ancient Florida Native’s husband, themore Ancient Ohio Yankee.
