Woke Up This Mornin'

I woke up this mornin' on a choo choo train Bound for Amarillo in the pourin' rain Starin' out the window started me thinkin' It's gonna be this way 'til I quit drinkin' Had an old Cadillac and a gal named Ann And I played fiddle in a travelin' band We had some good times and a dog named Yeller Then Ann ran off with a yodelin' feller My heart was broke and tears fell on my fiddle I found that Jack Daniels eased me a little I made a full time job of fillin' my cup Then Yeller took off with some speckled pup Don't remember much else with this addled brain I woke up this mornin' on a choo choo train 12-23-18 Contest: Standard Contest No. 150 Sponsor: Brian Strand

Is this a poem or a pretty cool country and western song? You should set it to music, man-- oh, and congrats on the win in Brian's contest.

Oh, I love the way you begin and end your poem with that provocative line, Larry. There is a country feeling to your poem that makes it uniquely appealing. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest, Carolyn
