A tale of a tar baby
Way back, when I was jus’ a l’il boy, I read me a tale about the tar baby. Ol’ Uncle Remus sure could spin a good tale. The only problem is that the idea of a tar baby, with all it entailed, remained vague. We lived just down the road from an asphalt plant, so the colour and smell of tar were familiar, but the idea of playing in the stuff didn’t sit well with my parents, and so I abstained.
