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 
Cock-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

Another moonshiner lives next door
and he's just one more of a total of four
They realize what they're doing ain't right
So they watch out for each other day and night 

 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

Curtis, I love the stanza you added to my poem. This poem was actually put into music by a band from Sweden. It's been done in a rock-n-roll style and it should be out soon. Congratulations on your 1st place win! All the best...Charlie
