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 *Entry for John Freeman’s limerick contest

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...

I loved " dadgum". The vernacular is riht ther, my dear. It's been hard, but I'm here again! Thanks for everything! Love, Gerard.

Speechless!!! Now there is some serious redneck creativity...does one have to drink moonshine to "suck out snake venom?" whoah! Two thumbs up that this one's the winner! Gwendolen :)

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.

H0, hardy har, har, har. This is a sure winner. I've heard that grasshoppers taste like chicken too. Think I'd rather sample the grasshoppers. Congrats on your kickass victory. Love, Dave
