A Redneck Vacation

~When retired Redneck take a vacation,
   Needs not AARP’s senior discounts,
   Motel tarpaulin costs are his passion,
   A Redneck needs not large bank cash amounts.

~Give him some worms that squirm and North Fork Creek,
   With wilderness trees, he’s very well pleased,
   I’m Redneck quite sleek , have my own technique, 
   Head where wildlife frees, in mountain air breeze.

~My food still on hoof, venison is great,
   There’s fish a plenty, may ride my Jenny,
   Don’t need a debate, I’ll call my love Kate,
   She’ll rough it with me, loves to fish you-see,

~Get Jenny some grain, I’ll clip her long mane,
   City dudes are vain, drives Rednecks insane!

For and in Honor of: Carol Brown
