Brenda Mcgrath Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I'M a Georgia Southern Belle

I am from Georgia, and am a real Southern belle,
I love to be on the front porch with iced tea, and sit a spell.
My hair has to be just so before I go out,
And my makeup is one thing I never go without.

I say “Ya’ll,” and “I’m fixin” to go…
It’s the grammar of a Southern belle you know.
I say “Please,” “Thank you Ma’am,” and “Oh shoot,”
And if you don’t like me, I don’t give a hoot!

Barry Levy July 20, 2016 at 11:07 AM I apologize for this criticism, but in the 21st century I am compelled to say... "What a hoot!" Do southern belles still walk the pretty plantations with confederate flags on their parasols? Barry Levy July 20, 2016 at 12:31 PM It's a pity that irony hasn't yet reached the South. Barry Levy July 20, 2016 at 12:05 PM I wasn't being humorous. Brenda Mcgrath July 20, 2016 at 11:45 AM No they do not. Haha!
