Notes About The Poem
(First 9 stanzas by Charles Messina, Sponsor)

Moonshiners Ditty Collaboration

Gonna wake up
At the brink of dawn
Take a shower
Throw my blue jeans on

The little red rooster
Is my alarm
****-a-doodle doodling
On my farm

Gonna water
All of my crops
Especially
My barley and hops

Gonna spread out
All the bales of hay
Where the goats and the horses
And the cattle stay

In the pasture
Down by the creek
Where we went
When we wanted to sneak

A little moonshine
I stole it from my dad
The best damn moonshine
That I ever had

I'm gonna go
And see a little rodeo
Then I'm going dancing
To do the do-si-doe

Then I'll stop by
Over near the school
To jump in the river
In our swimming pool

Gonna get my little lady
A cold bottle of wine
And get myself a bottle
Of my dad's moonshine

We'll be a parkin'
Up at Lover's Lane
Snugglin' and kissin'
And feelin' no pain
