John Loving Iii Poet Ghazal

The Low Country Boil

take some shrimp, and crabs
and corn on the cob
add smoke saugage, crawdads 
and maybe a lobster and clams
boil it till the ingrediants 
turn bright orange or red
through it all on a table
and make sure that all are feed
no plates or forks
napkins thats for sure
make sure all the shells 
are properly disposed
when the parties over
and everything is gone
then you know forever
what they call a low country boil

Phyllis Babcock July 25, 2011 at 5:57 PM Sounds like a tasty treat but i have a question. What are crawdads? I take the car in tomorrow to see if they write it off. Being an 04 I have a suspicion that they might and that means looking for another car. Al was at fault so we have a 700 dollar deductible to pay. Can't seem to get ahead and seem to be taking two steps backward. phyl
