Redneck Academics

A spleen for breakfast or is it lunch.
I’m not quite sure your words aren’t much.
Beaten by a crayon’s mark.
Your fire died without a spark.

The writer’s block must have returned.
Speak up son you’re getting burned.
You’ve got some time with this pandemic.
You’re learning redneck academics.

This pandemic has thrown a wrench in my writing, got me sewing, cooking, watching the grands, and working from home (doing lots of reading) Be blessed, Mark!

A timed gag order. This is exactly why one shouldn't sell out.

I need to know what redneck academics is...but I'm guessing it's the ruff and tumble way of being...If it is I got your message...

It's how we deal with bully's up here in the north. Every time they try to beat someone down we give it back to them 10 fold.
