Old Macdonald

This is a story that I had to make up for a writing class. Please comment.





The REAL story of Old MacDonald



If you have ever wondered what Old MacDonald did other than have animals that mooed or barked or quacked, this is the story for you.
There once was a man who lived in the land of Eieio. The man was named Mista MacDonald. He had two sons. Their names were Bingo and Ognib. They all worked very hard to keep the farm going. And all was well until Mista fell in love. The lady that he fell in love with was very pretty and kind. And she even had a daughter. The kind lady’s name was Miss Polly Wolly, and her daughter’s name was Yanky (short for Maryanika); their last name was Doodle. Miss Polly Wolly had another daughter named Suzanna, but she was already married to a man named Paul Dontyoucryfurme. After four days of courting, Mista asked Miss Polly Wolly to marry him; as did Bingo to Miss Yanky. They were both accepted, and they both got married three days later.
Now through all of this, Ognib felt a little left out of all of the fun of getting married. And he thought to himself, “I think that if my twin can get married, I can.” So he went to Japan to find a pretty girl to marry. After a long voyage there (for Eieio is in Kentuckistan, a long way away from Japan), he finally reached the town of Elpu. There he wandered until he was so discouraged that he thought that he would never find girl that he could marry.
Meanwhile back at the MacDonald farm (which, by the way, is more like a
Plantation anyway), Polly Wolly and Yanky were both very tired of country life
and wanted to go back to the city. And since they could be very tiresome, Mista
decided to sell the farm, and live in a hotel till the end of his days. (Only because
Polly Wolly said that was what would be best for him.) And Bingo and Yanky
also moved, but to an inner-city condominium.
All the while, back in Elpu, Ognib had found a beautiful maiden named Yuk-Yuk. He had promised her that he would take her back to the land of Eieio, in the Country of Kentuckistan. And Yuk-Yuk accepted his proposal. So, he and his new bride took the first dinghy to Kentuckistan. But when they got back, they
expressed extreme horror that the other MacDonald’s had moved to the city.
After getting an explanation from his father, Ognib decided to buy his own farm,
So that he and his bride could live in the peace of the country.
And they lived happily ever after.
So now since you have read this, you can say that you have heard the real story of Old MacDonald.
