If these floors could only talk….

     You know, we’ve all heard the saying, “boy, if these walls could talk”…I was thinking the other day that you could also ask the same thing about floors….think about it….

     How many floors would tell you the story about the new mother who walked and walked all night trying to soothe her fretful babe, or how many floors would relate the tales of worried and slightly irate  parents pacing back and forth, back and forth watching the clock till their young one finally, finally got home.  And if you applied the thought to floors throughout history, think of the tales to be told.  For instance, just  imagine a couple of floors were comparing histories and trading anecdotes.. Might go something like this….

     Well, I happened to be the floor of the Santa Maria, that Chris Columbus sailed across the ocean blue in fourteen hundred and ninety two…..Buenos todos!  Well, let me tell you that was no fiesta, or as you personas like to say, no picnic!!  Eyemio!!  I thought we would never get there, thought I would never hear the phrase “land ho” ever again!  Man, all anybody ate besides fish, was beans and rice,  followed by more beans and rice…Not only did everybody have severe seasickness and scurvy, but, well, I’ll just say that it didn’t just smell fishy all the time……The one good thing about it was that I got a nice scrubbin’, from bow to stern at least two or three times a day….Okay, that part of it was nice, I’ll admit.  But do you realize how crabby men can get when they have been at sea for like,  three months?  Women aren’t the only one’s who have “moods” I’d wager to say.  And nasty! Aye me Dios!  I was so happy to finally drop anchor in the beautiful new world of the America’s….Muy bonito la isla de America!…..So, yes, I guess I really was very privileged to be among the first armada to come here…But , I really wish they had known about jerky then, instead of beans……I would have given a bucket of wax for some beano….

    “ Well, pardeeno mi amigos, but if you want to talk about nasty, you should have been with me in Dodge City in the saloon where Doc Holliday practically lived!!!  Now that Wyatt Earp, well now he can scuff his boots along my planks anytime….But that Doc…His mantra would have been  “drink, deal, cough and chew , clear your throat, hoeck’ and spew!!!…….disgusting…..But, even as sloppy drunk as those ole’ cowboys could get, and as often as I wanted to fly up and pop em’ on their backsides for those sharp spurs in my backside, I really did love em’ everyone….Yeah, those were the days….They were all my “little huckleberries” to quote a friend….
