Ma Feets

Ah gotsta tell y’all ‘bout ma own two feet, Fo transportation dey can’t be beat. I’m right proud a them clod hoppers, see, Cause they always trekin’ on ahead a me. Don’t reckon dey ain’t no place dey ain’t never been, And if’n dey was I fo sho cainst remember when.. An I remember onced when dese ole clodhoppers, Churned like lightning from some bad coppers. Now dey don’t always get me out of a lurch, Sundays dey carry me on down to church. An when the old widow next door needs favors, Why dese ole feet a mine hit them pavers. Lord dey was your transportation I read in the bible, So in my book dese feets got no rival. Member that lady what washed yours an dried em with her hair? I like to think I’d a maybe helped her if I’d a been dere… Anyway, thank you Lord for my favorite transportation, Saves me a heap a money at the gaslene station!

I really really like this. You should do it for a trademark. Like it's your thing. Pull out my poem "Bindled", it is somewhat on the same note but no coloquilisms. I don't think I could do them this well. charles

Haven't heard from you for awhile.Wanted to stop by and say hello.Haven't been on much lately.Enjoying the sun while I can.Hope all is well.Have a great day.

Hi Bob, we chose the same form of "transportation," but your poem is far more clever. Love the country lingo and the humor! Well done. Best wishes in Barbara's contest. Love, Carolyn
