"war of the Worlds" By H.G. (Hebert-Gautreaux) Wells

One of dem Saucer land in da Bayou
Ole Boudreaux out huntin say "Jus who be you?"
Den he point him shodgun
And say "Lookee here son...
Jus found some green OKRA to seasonne my stew!"

Cool limerick, Tim. And a great concept writing of the bayou folks and their gumbo. Very funny! by the way, my hair does not grow very fast and I had to cut it all off when bleach destroyed my hair from coloring it several years. I LOVEd being blonde, and long or short, I wouldn't mind magic beans just to make it STAY blonde without ruining my hair! LUv, andrea
