I'D Rather Be a Hillbillie

I'd rather be a hillbillie than a bybillie or blowbillie to try to be all three, you see would drive me to insanity. Bybillies are skittishy and shy seldom stay, always say "goodbye" they never joke, don't even try just mumble, complain, whine and cry. Hillbillies are fun and fancy free can run as far as you can see may be poor, ain't got no teeth but that don't bother them in the least. I'd rather be a hillbillie than a bybillie or blowbillie and climb the hills and know the land and laugh and hunt to "shoot the band". Blowbillies are too puffed up have big mouths, can't keep 'em shut boast and brag, often disrupt full of hot air, they look quite stuffed. Hillbillies love to dance and sing know how to play the fiddle and swing and love to roam the fields in spring I'd rather be a hillbillie more than anything! Written on 4/14/2018 l

Laura, you did an excellent job conveying what I was hoping everyone would convey - a hillbilly, bybillie and blowbillie. I loved the way you described them, and played right into my contest. Well done! Congrats!
