BATTLE OF THE BANDS AT OAK VILLAGE NURSING HOME

By Carolyn Krebbs

Flo and Eunice sat in their rocking chairs, whiling away the afternoon.

"Who is the greatest death-metal band in all of Finland?" Flo asked Eunice.

"Oh my stars, that's easy," Eunice replied, taking a sip of iced tea. "Oksennus Saatana, of course."

"Right you are," Flo said politely, knowing full well that no one rocked harder than Hautausmaa Ulostus, a fact that would gnaw at the 92-year-old for the rest of the day.

(The insufferable Carolyn Krebbs would like to dedicate her latest story to her beloved Pomeranian, Pinot Grigio.)
