Poem

Southern Through and Through 
Dr. Jim Martin


I am satisfied in my Southern ways, 
I am really quite content. 
I think I’ll stay and settle here 
That is really my intent. 

Do not try and persuade me to change my mind, 
Saying I have surely lost my way. 
I am really not interested in other locales 
I have decided to on Southern soil stay. 

My roots run deep in this Southern land 
Where we talk in our own proud style. 
Listening to others try to mimic our speech 
Brings to me much more than a smile. 

There is much that we are proud of in these parts 
That is often not well understood. 
Folks from elsewhere think it odd 
That we care so for “neighborhood.” 

To not be in a constant rush; 
To use words like “git” and “ya’ll” 
Does not mean that we’re less smart than you 
Nor did we into “stupid” fall.
