HERE'S A RITIN FRUM
FOR APRIL 2001
FOR APRIL 2001
Hi Evrybudy! This is Old Bear duin a ritin agin and that's me sittin at the kompewter thinkin abowt wat I kan rite this month. There shure hasn't been much goin on this month. We didn't go on no trips nowhere and I mostly jist sat and watched the rain cum down. If I had a swimmin suit I culd have gone swimmin in our yard cus of all the water. My man wus puttin nuspaper bags over his shoes sew he culd get off of our porch without getting his feets wet. The musik U r hearin is kalled April Showers. I culdn't find no March Rainstorm musik.
I asked my man wat he wus goin 2 rite abowt this tyme and he sed mostly abowt his wife who don't live here no more. Did U no that I never did no her or even C her? I guess I ought 2 tell U sum about that.
U C, I didn't live here 4 a purty long tyme. I wus livin in Ilnoyze at my grammas house and I wus kept in a box in a kloset and it wus especially dark cus I didn't have no eyes back in those days. I wus in this kloset a reel long tyme but one day my man cum to visit his mama who I call my gramma and he wus lukin 4 sumpn in the kloset and found the box I wus in. Well, he hollered right out Look what I found! My Old Bear! Well, that's how kum I'm kalled Old Bear. My man jist kept on kallin me that.
Well, my man brot me bak here to Dallas but you no wat? It wus hardly no tyme B4 I wus back in a kloset and my man had sorta forgotten abowt me agin. I guess he wus busy wurkin wear he wus makin money and duin his club stuff. I wuld sit in my kloset and culd hear him doin sum typewritin stuff a whole lot and sumtymes I wuld hear peples in the house and smell good cookin things. I figgered out that the woman I heard talkin sumtymes lived here all the tyme with my man cus I herd him call her Peggye and my wife.
Well, one day wen my man wus at wurk I heard a big noise in front of my kloset like sumbudy fell down. Then it wus reel quiet for a purty long tyme and then I heard my man cum home frum wurk and I herd him get on the telyfone and I heard him say sumpn lyke I think she is dead and purty soon there were sirens in front of our house and peoples cum in and there wus a lot of talkin and then it wus reel quiet but my man stayed up all nite duin things and makin telyfone calls. Then I member there wus sumpn kalled a funeral which is sort of like a party cept everyone cries a lot.
Well, then it got all quiet qgin 4 a reel long tyme I felt sort of sad and I guess my man did 2 cus one day he reached in the closet and brung me out and sed sumpn like Old Bear, I'm shure sorry you have been in the kloset so long; maybe you had better cum out and sit on my bed. And that's wat I did and sumtymes my man wuld talk to me wen he cum in the bedroom. Well, that wus reel gud but I still culdn't C anything but I culd here lots of things and I started hearin a new lady's voice and one day whoever this wus picked me up and I heard her say It is a shame yur Old Bear doesn't have any eyes and his ear is torn and his arm is broken. You ought to send him to the doll hospital.
Well, I guess my man thot that wus a gud idea cus I herd him on the telyfone making an appointment to see a doll doctor and then my man put me in the new lady's car and I got tuk 2 the doll hospital. Well, I wus there maybe 8 or 5 days and I got all fixed up. It wus a lady doll doctor and she shure did gud wurk and it didn't hurt hardly at all when she sewed up my ear and fixed up my arm, cept it is still a little stiff. But bestust of all I got two nu eyes sew culd see again after all those years of being blind and bein in a closet. There shure were a lot of nu things to C!
Well, cus I culd C gud now I started duin things like lernin to reed and spell wurds and when my man started ritin this magazine I rote sum things jist for fun and Miss Christy who wus at Startext red sum of my ritin and sed I shuld rite for them and I did and I got a plak 4 being a gud riter. Then me and my man started takin trips 2gether and I've been to virginny and calyforny and bak to Ilnoyze to C my gramma and to Mexico and Spain and lots of other playces and I've had lots of ventures lyke gettin bearnapped in the big museum in Chicago Now a hole lot of peples no who I am.
I guess it wus worth staying in the kloset so long 2 du wat I'm duin now. I shure du thank that nyce lady who sed I shuld go 2 the doll hospital.
