Country Boy!

i'm a country boy, as country as can be; i'm barefoot when i go to church, don't give a hoot 'bout society! i sleep naked in the back yard, go skinny dippin' in the lake; when i use the outhouse, the ground's gonna quake! i eat with both hands, possum, squirrel, an' coon; cook 'em on an open fire, an' use my fingers as a spoon! bouncin' rocks off turtle shells, sippin' moonshine from a jug; sweet as a store bought teddy bear, it's okay to give me a hug! i love my thermal underwear, they're red, with a cute lil' flap; i'll curl up in the chicken coop, for a long afternoon nap! i ain't much for fightin' but i don't take no crap; if you push me in a corner, get ready for a scrap! forget that bottled water, i'm drinkin' from a well; next time you're in the country, stop and visit for a spell!

Now who could refuse such an invitation, Milton? Having lived in a "redneck" area for quite a few years, I encountered many people such as the one described above. There's a special charm to them, even if they eat possums. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn
