I’m baaaack! Yes I’m back and I want to know something!
Jimmy Crack Corn and I don’t care!!! What??? Well, all I want to know is who is Jimmy and why does he crack corn and why doesn’t someone care? Poor old Jimmy. He sits there cracking corn minding his own business and folks just don’t seem to give a hang. Would people feel the same about little Jimmy if he was cracking walnuts, hmmmm? What if he was roasting chestnuts on an open fire? I suppose then everybody would care as they gathered around Jimmy with the warm fuzzies waiting to sample those chestnuts! Of course maybe Jimmy didn’t have walnuts or chestnuts and corn was all he had to work with. Of course folks do sure like roasted corn! Maybe no one cared cause all he had was creamed corn. Now, no one really likes creamed corn so I would understand if no one cared, but ya can’t really crack creamed corn, cause………well it’s creamed. No cracking possible. If all he had was corn then why didn’t the government step in and take some walnuts or chestnuts from someone more fortunate and redistribute them to level the playing field? Of course maybe it was the government that didn’t care in the first place. Of course, who can really know when it comes to someone cracking corn.
Sure, sure, some will say that it all has do to with a song written by minstrel performer and song writer Daniel Emmett and to crack corn was to gossip and and cracking corn came from and old Shenandoah expression meaning to sit around and chit chat. Others who don’t agree will just sit around gossiping and say that cracking corn was to open up a jug of corn liquor. I’m supposin to drink it I guess. Sure hope it wasn’t made with creamed corn. YUK! Either way it sure is puzzling! After all this talking about Ol’ Jimmy and his corn, I’m starting not to care either!
That’s it for now. Next time we will tackle the age old problem of how much wood can a woodchuck actually chuck!
