Ozark Charm

Granddad done got his science wrong again cause Uncle Joe'd read a book in one them magazine staples from down in a Carolina; he said it was the cure all for the ugly.  And so there they were, running all over the neighborhood requiring fresh goat piss by the bottle and bucket for the livelihood and prosperity for the womens and their youngins.  Yet forty nine days later the womens was ugly as ever, just standing there in their house dresses and white barrettes, heavy headed as-could-be.  Come to find out, after looking up one of the original prescribers, it was for the falling hair, but these details of the Ozark magic oughta be a kept secret anyway as to not break their charm, and so confusion often ensues for certain.   And to credit the goats, bless their hearts too, for they were forever stricken by the whole ordeal, running everywhere for months on end, head butting the trees as fast as lighting.., and they both had kids.
