Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Deliver Me From Living In the North

Deliver Me From Living in the North

By Elton Camp

To the Northeast, my sympathies extend
Here in Alabama I’ll be 70 this weekend

To you, Sandy came and stayed a spell 
Now you have a snowstorm as well

The electricity you got knocked out
Now you are having another bout

Your hear “youse guys” and rudeness
Move down South for less crudeness

Your cost of living is always high
Living in the South you outta try

Wear bib overall and have bare feet
Say “y’all” to those that you meet

Yep, tornadoes and hail you may endure
But you’re better off living here for sure

Carol Sunshine Brown November 9, 2012 at 11:03 AM I am not a pro on any form of poetry but...I know when I read a poem if I have enjoyed it. Now I have read yours and I have indeed enjoyed it Elton. I wish you a wonderful weekend and hope you find much inspiration to continue with your writing endeavors. Love, Carol Elton Camp November 9, 2012 at 11:43 AM Hey Carol, Thanks for your kind comments. I'm an old man who writes merely as a hobby. My material isn't meant to be great literature, just fun. Elton

Toquyen Harrell November 8, 2012 at 8:45 PM Lol, too cute. I like it. I agree. I would go there to visit but living there -NO. Enjoyed your poem. Love ya, Toquyen Elton Camp November 9, 2012 at 11:45 AM I've never lived outside the South so have no real basis for comparison. But from what I hear, I prefer it to the frigid north. Elton
