Klitsgras

Jou Klitsie was onlangs die slagoffer van wat ek die " spons peleton" noem Klitsie is 'n vrygewige mens en ten spyte wat ons "2 vriendinne" in die dorp dink het ek ook 'n hart en gee ek ook. 'n Maand of twee gelede het jou Klitsie op een of ander manier bevriendgeraakmettannieSponswatiewers in die dorpwoon Waar weet ek nie mooi nie maar wat ek wel weet was dat die se Nokia 1100 en die klere my genoop het om tog 'n paar randjies te gee en tannie Spons uit te nooi om 'n paar kledingstukkies te kom kry omrede ons so om en by dieselfde size klere dra.Sywasdiedieselfdedagdaar.OomSpons het saam gekom en nie die geleentheid laat verbygaan om die koffie te aanvaar wat ek aanbied nie 6 koppies later is die weg met klere en beloftes om weer te kom kuier Die kuier het meer Sponse na vore laat kom en Klitsie se blik Ricoffy het daardie dag al slukkend gesneuwel. Soos 'n damwal wat breek word die kuiers amper 'n daaglikse storie behalwe as daar 'n begrafnis is (want die kos is mos gratis) Hier en daar 'n gunsie met 'n belofte van dit sal wel terug gegee word Nooit terug gekom nie maar Klitsie het aanvaar dat die kanse vir die belofte om nagekom te word skraler is as Zuma wat besluitomregtetel.'nPaarwekelaterlykjou Klitsiesoosdietantewatagterdiegordyndie welenweevandieburesedoenenlateindie straat dophou.

Met tyd het die sponse ook maar aanbeweeg en iemand anders in die dorp bevriend by wie daar nou gekuier en lekker koffie gedrink word Ek oordeel nie, maar ek voel my goedhartigheid is misbruik Maar hey, dit was my keuse gewees waar ek op die harde manier geleer het.
