GOTTA LOVE THAT SHOTGUN!!!!

Ten hillbillies came over the hill Each one of them answered to Bill To name them all Billy Would be rather silly Not one of them responds to Will Their fiancés all share the name Sue Mass confusion, causes such a to do They'd arranged a joint wedding To the alter they’re heading Ten hillbillies had not thought it through Their intentions were very well meant One invitation covered the event The whole town was invited And they were delighted To witness nuptials in a huge tent The excitement it grew and grew As each Bill married his Sue They all walked down the aisle Echo pair with a huge smile singing Abba's I do I do I do Hillbillies, Bybillies, and Blowbilllies. - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Caren Krutsinger 4/14/18

Jan, It's hard to beat a good old fashioned hillbilly wedding.. your playful write captures the essence well. And I'm a big Abba fan to boot!

I didn't mention bybillies or blowbillies so guess that's the reason it didn't place, but it wasn't in the rules we had to use them and as they were made up words but I'm happy the poem has veen so well received:-) hugs Jan xx

I'm reading this with brother, Billy and we both enjoyed this. He called it 'cute' and not one word about his name in your limerick. Truly a great limerick in perfect Jan-style. This is a winner with no need of a contest. Make sure it gets in the book. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

:) Delightfully upbeat and humorous, Jan. I was wondering what type of poems Caren was seeking. Perhaps this is it! Best wishes in her contest. Hugs, Carolyn

I think the title for the contest is confusing people and I had to mail to discover two of the words are made up ( I thought they may be local words as i couldn't find them on google) I hope Caren likes my take on the contest idea:-) hugs Jan xx

Much more than confusing contest title. I'm not at all sure what was expected but never the less, you've got a masterpiece here. Really funny Jan, and I've always loved ABBA!!!
