One afternoon Boudreaux was relaxing on sofa when his phone rang and
when he picked it up and said "hello" the voice on the other in said
"Boudreaux if you not doing nothing but laying around come cut my grass
for me. I'll pay you 5 dollars."

Boudreaux recognized the voice it was that crazy Miss Hebert from the
other side of town. Not wanting to sound mean or rood to her he said "OK
Miss. Hebert I'll be there in a few minutes." Boudreaux got in his truck
and drove over to the old lady's house where she was waiting at the
screen door.

She said "Look Boudreaux go in the shed and bring out the little Blue
Tractor I'll show you how to use it." Boudreaux thought to himself "I
drive heavy equipment at the port what can this crazy old woman tell me
about cutting grass." Then Boudreaux saw it The Little Garden Tractor it
looked like someone shrunk a cane tractor to the size of a riding lawn
mower, how cute. Boudreaux rolled it out on the drive way and Miss.
Hebert gave him the key and said told him "Look here Boudreaux you keep
this tractor in second gear at all times you here!" He said "Yes mam."

Boudreaux started the tractor up pushed the clutch in and put the gear
shifter in #2 and let the clutch out and the mower went down in the
grass but it was so slow. Boudreaux said "This is going to take all day
as this speed so when I get around to the other side of the house I'll
kick this little blue tractor in #6 gear and finish this in on time.
What that crazy knows any way."

So as soon as he made the corner Boudreaux press the clutch in and
shifted the tractor in #6 gear. Now what happen next is not too clear
but here goes. Boudreaux let the clutch out and the tractor took off
like a flock of ducks. Boudreaux holding the steering for dear life,
flying down the side of the house managed to just miss the rose bush and
gas meter. Now managing to clear the corner of the house and now heading
into the back yard he makes a hard right hand turn. Open his eyes for a
second he notices the giant fig trees directly in front of him but too
late. Boudreaux parted those 2 fig trees like Moses parted the Red Sea,
there were figs, fig leaves, branches, grass, and dirt flying every
where and Boudreaux still hanging on for dear life.

Now clearing the fig trees Boudreaux open his eyes a little bit and saw
the pine tree and the fence just in front of him so he turn hard right
again this time he miss the tree but was now heading straight toward the
garage. But too late he glanced off the garage and now heading down the
driveway. The little mower and Boudreaux holding on for dear life,
screaming like a schoolgirl, are both headed for Main St.

Crossing Main St in a blink of an eye, jumping the curb and now going
through Mr. Martin's yard taking out one row of monkey grass and 3 small
banana trees finely coming to a stop in Miss Rose's big ditch. Boudreaux
jumped off the tractor and looked all around to see if anyone saw what
he just did, you know the look. Boudreaux gather himself up dragged the
little blue mower back into Miss Hebert yard and finished cutting her
grass in second gear.

So when a crazy old lady tells you to cut her grass in second gear, Do
what she tell you!
