Town Hall

Typewriters chatter, file drawers slam, lines form to the left but I have no idea what the people in there actually do. The day the mayor’s secretary had a heart attack, the government shut down because nobody could answer questions.

One lady called to report the power company cutting down trees three hundred years old along the cemetery and calling it “pruning.” All Town Hall said was “Call back Monday.”

Fortunately, the secretary survived. The trees were not so lucky.
