They are the biggest depositors in my husband’s bank.
I consider the whole family both vile and rank.
They struck oil back in the hills where they are from.
However, they are all uncouth and dumb.
I have to hold my nose and run and hide
whenever Granny starts making lye soap outside.
That Jethro will never get anywhere with me.
He is big and stupid with the IQ of a flea.
Elly May has scores of unlicensed pets.
She keeps them all on the property without regrets.
Whatever that clan will do next can’t be predicted.
If I am ever lucky, they will be evicted.
