Your Letters: November 22

A TALL TALE OF TWO COUSINS

Once upon a time there were two cousins, Billy Hill and John Bull.

They had a special relationship. Billy was, older, bigger, stronger and richer.

There were stories that Billy was rough on women, loose with money, thought too much of himself and was rude and arrogant.

Johny set these these thoughts aside believing that Billy was a loyal dependable protector.

Then Billy became the head of the family supported by like minded folks in his bailiwick.

Johny thought, "This will be good for me and my kind, just follow Billy, do what he says and does, be patriotic and macho like him."

Then Billy's true nature came out. He taxed Johny, wouldn't protect him, said he was weak, decadent, degenerate and woke.

He fell foul of the law, a guilty felon.

Johny tried to woo Billy and invited him to his patch with regal parades and fine banquets.
