The Clampetts

The Clampetts Whoever is in charge must be a louse. We’ve had to resort to frozen grouse. And canned caviar just don’t git, the pallet lit up like it should be lit. Been a whoppin’ change at the white house. By doggie, This recession gives me the fits. I’m goin’ back to hog maw and grits, molasses on the side with a slab of ham. By golly that’s more who I am. Add a slice of fried corn bread, I’m at the Ritz. © Jun 10 2010 placed 4 th in economic woe contest

Sounds like some good southern farm food here. Maybe this will help everyone leave longer, not sure about the hog maw though. Have slopped the hogs. This is great, her contest really fun to read entries. Good luck.
