Some things just keep
on coming at you:
Yesterday
at the bank, the lady assisting us pushed the form across the desk and was
reading my name upside down “Louis E” and she called me “Louise”. Fortunately,
the lovely Avon knew enough to keep from laughing, and I let it slide. But in
days gone by I wouldn’t have been so forgiving.
It seems
like every time we had a substitute teacher, she would fall into that trap set
by whoever named me, and like the line from Johnny Cash’s A BOY NAMED SUE “Some
kid would laugh… and I’d bust his head…” Yes, Louise started many a fight
during those grade school years. Louise doesn’t show up much anymore, and
that’s a good thing because I’m not eager to get down and dirty with the old
knuckle and skull stuff these days. “Life ain’t easy for a boy named Louise”
