Somewhere along the way I see that the poisoning of rats has bagged the neighbor's dogs, the neighbor. and some guy named Walter. The trial will be very interesting.

No trial sweetie pie she has video tape of everything. She may be old like me, but like me, she is no slouch. Thanks for the read. Karen

Well, like I've said most of my life, "Whatever works." Sounds like a great way to get rid of the neighbor, his dogs, and the rats. And you'll want to keep that recipe. :-) Thanks for sharing.

Applejack pie. Without the additive is lovely. It is an apple pie with extra cinnamon and melted caramels, and a crunchy brown sugar lattice crunch. And he used his greasy fingers to eat that work of art. Death to the infidels! Still waiting on Tuckers first case. Tucker could never sit still long enough to find himself, but he could find people. He always could. Like when that Willy Ray went missing. He was only 16 at the time but he knew that boy would never voluntarily be too far from home. his mamma was the best baker in two counties and she baked cakes, pies and cookies all day long.
Willy was her taster. and he wouldn't give up that job for nuthin'. HINT :-)

Comment from karenina
Congrats on your milestone #300! This IS funny! I have no sympathy for rats so I didn't feel a twinge of guilt about enjoying your murderous plans. A shame old Walter got into the pie...but then again? He is in one of your stories and that's hazardous to his health right there! One little typo:
"pulling upmy flowers"
This was a very "crisp" read and your turns of phrases almost sounded British they were so proper!
Keep us entertained!

Shall I call you Dame Threadgill? It has a nice ring to it!

I am taking back my maiden name Karen Lynn Cherry.

Pretty! I think that's awesome!

I never really cared for my middle name of Lynn. I only ever heard it in the angry three name call when I was in trouble. "Karen Lynn Cherry you get your little heinie in here this minute!" We all know what that means! So, maybe I'll just be Karen Cherry that rolls off the tongue doesn't it?

Hello Karen,
it looks like you got the king rat. What kind of buffoon eats anything from the top of a garbage can? He sounds like he had a little raven or crow in his bloodline. I've had neighbors, not quite that bad, but bad enough. Few things in life are more frustrating than lousy neighbors. At least this one won't be bothering you anymore. Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Marilyn said that I should make an a-z book about death. So that's what I am doing. If you can think of a better name let me know. Karen

Clever story. Good work.
"...fat lot of good that does" - I love this phrase. I use it all the time in speech.
My friend, Jim offered to help, - (My friend, Jim, offered to help...)
He said he could pelt him with rocks or something, - A period would be better than a comma.
Best wishes.

Thank you for the read. I edited and found another one! I love this story. Karen
Comment from Jim Wile
Congratulations on your 300th posting, Karen. Quite an accomplishment! You've got another amusing story here of death to the deserved. Well, sort of deserved anyway. He should have had better control over his dogs. And what uncouth person just helps himself to a pie sitting out on top of a garbage can? Yeah, I'd say he deserves his fate. At least you had the foresight to tape what you were doing. Good thinking!

Well, the story started out to be a very well thought out straight and darkly clever plot. However, somehow it turned out to be Jerry Lewis. Who's in charge here anyway? Thanks for the read friend. Love to you and yours. Karen

"Pie anyone?
Rats" Well, not if made from rat meat, thank you.
"I have trouble remembering things." Now she tells us.
"I have swiss cheese for brains." Kudos for facing up to your reality.
"dig a hole to bury Walter. No matter dragging him through the yard, or lifting him into a wheelbarrow." Surprise, surprise, another 'man' bites the dust at this author's misandrist hands.
"out come Adolf, Joseph, and Vladimir." Oh, such soft, gentle, cute names.
"took my poisoned pie off the garbage can and began eating it with his fingers." Oh, well then this idiot deserves to go.

It was an applejack pie, with one "secret" ingredient. I thank you for the read, even though I am still behind with my reading. My muse is making me loony. Okay, loonier. Is that a word? Thanks. Love to you and yours. Karen

I don't know where these things come from. I can start out to write a deep dark horrid story, and wind up with the Jerry Lewis! Thanks for the read. Love to you and yours. Karen
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Congrats, Karen, on your 300th post! My Goodness, they're mounting up. I don't think I'm even a third there. Anther wonderfully vengeful and imaginative story, clearly expressed and in that style of stream of consciousness which suits you so well. Thanks for sharing, Debbie

I sometimes feel I have little control with what I write. I start out to write a devlishly hideous dark and stormy treatise, and end up with Jerry Lewis. A grand icon for one of your magnificent pieces. Just saying.........thanks for the read and nice words. Love to you sweet pea. Karen
