Dat Lady

Inspired by shall I compare thee to a summers day (Sonnet 18)

Shall I meet thee on a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely than my usual mate.
Rough winds do shake your darling buds of May,
But summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of Helen shines,
And often the shade of my deception dims;
But Helen’s keenly watching sight declines,
By chance, or God’s allowance of my whims.

But thy infernal summer shall soon fade
And lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
And death shall brag thou serv'est as his maid,
Thine face shall host eternal lines that grow’st
So long as man can breathe or eyes can see,
So shall fair maidens congregate to me.

A Man's a Man Fer All Dat

When a man's on his own, he's just dat.
He's dis an he's dat … jus dis an dat …  an dat's dat.
But now let a good woman enter his life
Let a good woman become his sweet wife
Now he's inspired from dis and dat to this and that and more than that.

From seat left up to seat put down
To clothes picked up 'stead of lying around
From paper cups and plastic spoons
To silver and china with roses and moons
Yes, a good woman transforms his dis and dat to this and that and more than that.

She's a smiling light by which he sees
Yesterday's socks still below his knees.
Her delicate nose, bright eyes and charms
Reminds him to fumigate under his arms.
A man is a man fer all dat, but with a good woman life's this and that.

He wipes his feet as he comes in the door.
"Don't track that sawdust - not on MY floor!"
He hangs up his coat on the back of da chair.
Oh! That's right ... that's wrong ... it doesn't go there!
Well, he hangs it up somewhere, just where I forget
Not on the floor, 'cause the floor is all wet
From the mud on the boots which by the door should be set.
I’ll be getting that look again, that's a safe bet!
But instead she brings warmly a cup of hot tea
With smiles and kisses and m-m-m-m-m … biscotti.

I know there's a lot more dat a “THAT" man should do
Lots of rules about tea time and stuff called "foo-foo".
Yes, a man is a man for all that.
With sawdust and leaves on his old woolen hat,
On his own he's content as an ol’ alley cat, scruffy and scraggly as dis an dat.

But with a good woman like I'm blessed to call mine,
His life starts to mellow like aging fine wine.
His mind starts to think and his heart starts to care
For the spirit-filled treasure who's his lady fair.
So he opens her door, he puts down the seat,
He eats with a fork after cutting the meat.
With napkin in lap and armpits like cedar,
He thinks of his life and how much it is sweeter
Than when he was only and lonely and sad
And says, “Aye!  Dis new life ain’t really half bad!”

Slam 2 Let Dat Flubber Fly

Dodge Dat Trukkk

i just shoulda not jumped in front of dat trukkkk....joke sent to me..

saw it happen going to work one morning,
 guy jumped in front of a speeding bus in his little car,
 and braked for the amber light,
......kerlunkkkkkkkkkk.....writeorfff

If ya drivin in ya car,
 ya dumb dum galah,
and ya thinking of dicing with a truck,
the buggers caint stop,
pull up,
till ya deadly ded-head,
 out of luck,
and the bitumen is red from your guitar,
so stay away from truckers bumperbars,
cos funerals always seem 2 bloody suck,
stay in that other lane, ol hound-dog Huck ...

Don Johnson


Been a trucker and seen people cause accidents by jumping in front of speeding Trucks 18 wheelers etc.....they caint stopppppp...if they is carrying several tons, to grind you into jam:(


Premium Member True Dat

Every day is different 
no matter what I do. 
A multitude of variables
keep me from the true. 

A flat tire, a loose wire,
a new friend suddenly appears,
and a favored pen disappears,
an argument over nothing, and
the postman brings you something,

the lawn mower won't start, and,
your child reveals her heart.
Trivial to substantial,
a randomness in all.

What is the deeper
hidden truth that thwarts
the things I do.
To not accept this deeper truth

is my fatal flaw.
The stubborn battle to
impose my truth,
keeps me from the true.

Like Love, Dat Foo Reel Dough Stuff

whoomp, whoomp whoomp!

sho'  ya right
ripple and wine patches
that fooreel dough stuff
we smoke fatty cigars
and drink that aqua stuff
sparkling wine and my misses
towel laid on the ground
sunning in the evening
kiss when know one's around
I gonna marry dat gal
I gonna speak I do to the preacher
me and my girl
a ful length feature

Dat Ole River

.
 Dat Ole River (The Calcasieu)

Dats a lazy ole river, dats a muddy ole river.   
Dat river she flows on and on and on,                                  
Dat river she flows;           
Through my mind, to my soul.                                       

Dat river she be wide,   
And dem shrimp nets scrape her belly;  
And dem crawfish play around her.                            
Dat river she be life, She be life to me.        

I used to go there with my Momma.
Momma she fixed da Gumbo, da Gumbo and the bisque.     
Momma she boiled the crabs and crawfish;                                    
By dat ole muddy river.    

I took my Marie down to the river;   
Took my sweet Sha to dat river.     
An we swam there in the moonlight;     
I fell in love beneath that moon.

I poled my pirogue down dat river;
Down that muddy, swampy river.  
I raised my children round that river.   
That river she be life to me. 

Come and play for me the accordion,  
The accordion and French harp.                                  
Bring fat Mommas and fat babies           
And we’ll have a fais do do.

Bring sweet wine and red boudin,  
Bring the red and white boudin,    
To the banks of dat ole river.    
We grow old and die together. 

Dear ole Calcasieu.             
Dats a lazy old river, Dats a dirty old river.  
Dat river she flows on and on; 
Dat river she flows through my mind, To my soul.

Premium Member Who Dat Nation

Who dat can beat dem Saints
To the superbowl- no they ain't
A ref missed a major call
Ram hit a Saint causing him to miss the ball

Did the fans of Black and Gold cry
No they had a parade and you wanna know why
Who Dat Nation would rather pass a good time
Have a parade, jazz, and do the second line

From St. Louis Cathedral steeple
Through the French Quarter, streets crowded with people
Like Drew Brees says, this won't keep us down, we'll come back bold
Who Dat Nation's spirit is strong, so as always, the good times rolled

Premium Member O Dat Mcgee

It was the end of the day when McGee walked in
to his favorite neighborhood pub
Gave a last puff on a stogie 
that he smoked right down to the stub

Then made his way up to the bar
Where he said with a troubling grin
Serve me a beer and put it right here
Before all the trouble begins 

After the first, he had another
as his patients appeared to wear thin
And saying He wanted a beer
Before all the trouble begins

So this went on 'til the barman 
produced McGee's bill, and that's when
McGee scratched his head, and then calmly said
"Now Here's where the trouble begins"

Isn'T Dat Unfair

Isn't that unfair
How can u compare
Isn't dat unfair
Each gender is made so unique
Where one is strong n the other weak
How can v set them side by side
Wen males n females r not alike
Woman is a diamond beyond compare
Not just identified by long hair
Life is a play with perfectly fit character
Played singly by mother wife daughter or sister
Joy of becoming a mom
Supporting a life in her womb
The grt god gift to female
This is where a man will fail
Can convert veggies into a meal
She understands wat u feel
Making up home from a house
Is selflessly devoted to her spouse
All qualities in a single soul
Who will assist even wen u fall
How can u compare
Isn't it fair?
