"something 'Bout Me"

My daddy was born 
in Arkansas.                                               
Momma wore a tight fitt-in bikini bra.
Daddy worked real hard he had us to feed.
We never had alot but had what we need. 
I wish there was somethin I could say bout me.
But a squirrel don't fall far from the tree.
                
I got a little brother and his names Eugene.
When he drinks whiskey he gets real mean.
My sister she is as hard as nails.
They say she knows how to give-em hell.
I wish there was somethin I could say bout me.
But a squirrel don't fall far from the tree.

Our daddy taught us to work;nothin came free.
Momma was in the kitchen fixin ice tea.
We were poor but we knew how to have a good time.
Playing poker and drinking homemade wine.
I wish there was somethin I could say bout me.
But a squirrel don't fall far from the tree.

Sara Kendrick October 15, 2009 at 2:37 PM Nicely rhymed. They say that an apple don't fall far from the tree if it is rotten but a green apple that is firm now that is a different story. Like the topic and the ideas here. Keep writing. Sara
