Dinner On the Redneck Riviera

Cuter than a June bug was Blossom
Bubba's hound had a nose for possum
   Bush moved and they watched it shake
   Not a possum, dadgum snake
Bubba took aim, results were awesome

Tweren’t the end of Blossom’s era
Sucked out venom; used Aloe Vera
   Dinner was finger lickin’
   Snake tasted just like chicken
Felt like a Redneck Riviera

Jack Horne Date: 3/8/2011 7:11:00 AM Congratulations! A very well deserved win, Carolyn. Jack : ) Yes, Dr Ram is a very interesting chap. Everyone on this site seems very friendly and nice. I'm glad I joined. Friends run a sort of writers' group, with a magazine every other month, and are always saying how unresponsive their members are. Janie and Cass would love this group - but they don't like poetry... Login to Reply

James Tate Date: 2/27/2011 4:32:00 PM Talk about originality, this epitomizes it. Loved the whole scenario. I wish you well in the contest. I have some red neck stuff that I may dig out one of these days. Problem is some of my best work is too long for the limits here. Oh, thanks for your comments on my Three Blind Men thing. And I felt good about you selecting it as a new fave. I got a chuckle from the piece myself, hope that is not conceit. Login to Reply
