Jay’s Gar Ponds (Part Six Of Six)
From his office on the university lyceum building’s top floor, Junior gazed at the hustle and bustle below. It warmed his heart to see bright-eyed, energetic students in “Gar U” sweaters rushing to classes, and from every car waved the school flag, bearing the university mascot, a toothy, evil-eyed gar. When brisk fall weather overcame summer’s hot days and football was in the air, Junior, Jaybird, their wives and children — sons Garland, Garfield, Garner, Gartley, and daughters Garcinda, Garsilla, Gardenia, and Garlissa — sat in box seats in Gar Stadium and watched their team, the Gar Giants, slaughter young warriors from opposing universities.- Thursday, September 2, 2021
