Jed Was a Sarcastic Cowboy

His mom always yelled at him, " Get up, Jed and get to work; move your lazy butt, sitting duck and stop hanging out with Kim! " " Wait, until I finish my gin, mom! " " He sarcastically replied with a grim. These silly words were shouted with contempt by Jed, as he watched Kim play with reddish loam; yuck! his lips smelled of Gordon's alcoholic drops! " Let the horses get hungry and thirsty, I need a minute to get up until dizziness stops, I'll feed them hay, but they should roam and eat pasture grass ..that's more healthy!" " Do as I say, or your salary will be less than you expect! " His angry mom brandishing a wood rolling pin, " Get up and tend to the horses! " She ordered with disdain. And stumbling on logs and branches Jed complied by sticking out his moist tongue, " I am as stubborn as a spoiled brat... nobody can change me with tools and threats: a cowboy's habits are hard to break like his image, I comply and put on this straw hat! "
