Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

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 March 8, 2011 at 7:11 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...

Louis Rams March 5, 2011 at 9:28 AM this is comical ! what is a redneck fire alarm box ? a tin of jiffy pop popcorn hanging above the doorway.

Robert Pettit March 1, 2011 at 8:54 PM A couple of imaginative limericks. Snake really isn't that bad.

Gerard Keogh Jr. March 1, 2011 at 6:30 PM I loved " dadgum". The vernacular is riht ther, my dear. It's been hard, but I'm here again! Thanks for everything! Love, Gerard.

Gwendolen Song February 27, 2011 at 10:38 PM 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 :)

James Tate February 27, 2011 at 4:32 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.

Wilma Neels February 27, 2011 at 12:43 PM Yikes, this one is quite witty, but I am pulling my face at the whole snake tasting like chicken line hehe ;) Good luck for John's contest.. love Wilma

Sara Kendrick February 27, 2011 at 12:15 PM Good one brought a good chuckle..Good luck in the contest..Reads like a winner to me..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..Sara

Daver Austin February 27, 2011 at 9:23 AM 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
