10,061. REAL TEAGUE

REAL TEAGUE
They don't really have them anymore,
and my mother used to say don't go.
A real Teague was a florid circus of
uncothed ladies pitched in a country
tent on fairgrounds where only local
farmers were allowed to go. For fifty
cents they could 'try their luck.' Well,
listen, that's what she said anyway, and
she was from 1924, so maybe she knew.
As for myself, yeah, I always figured
fifty cents to be a real deal.
