Oh, you don't like the things I have to say, well okay, just go ahead and kiss my grits!

Alabama native Polly Holliday portrayed Flo, a sassy waitress on the TV show "Alice," in the late 1970s. She coined the phrase "Kiss my grits!" ~Wikipedia

Premium MemberToe Jam

He calls me baby
and you would think
he gave me pearls or something

I am so sweet on him
that slice bread is good with his toe jam

Yes I am wearing rose colored glasses 
for he sweet to me like molasses

When I am in the store
Want to buy sexy stuff
You know the kind that will make him break

Premium MemberCornbread and Grits


Dead folks in my hood.
I just watch Netflix and keep
my shades down.
Hoping I don't get killed.

I pray to the Lord!
And in the dark night, 
bullets fly past my window.
Kinda makes me frown!

Premium MemberGreen Eggs, Spam and Grits

Green eggs, Spam and grits
Sam and Pam had their fill,
Then made their way to Main Street
Down WhoDat’s Whatsup Hill.

Waived "Hi!" to their neighbors
To show them that they cared.
All smiled except two who
Just stood there and glared.

Hulu Q Hopps and
His shorter half-brother
They came from two pops but
Shared the same mother.

Hopps came at them fast
So they quickened

Rum Gully Grits Mill

Sunrise found the farmers waiting 
 at the grits mill by the stream. 
 With the sound of grinding corn, 
 neighbors worked as a team. 

 Sharecropping is just a memory... 
 No more tobacco to be strung~ 
 Cottonpicking is now mechanical. 
 There is no redneck song to be sung. 

 I

Premium MemberEating Grits

Out on the porch in the still morn
Looking at the foggy damp knoll
As I think about being reborn
And eat grits from the new soup bowl

Neighbor's roosters sing their morn's song
Fog's moisture down the Oak leaves roll
All seems right and we get along
And eat grits from the new soup bowl

All is not right many unrests
Wars and

True Grits

When I was just a young man, I joined my nations forces
I was shipped to basic training and enrolled in some courses
Each morning they would march us up to the chow hall
Where we would get our breakfast and man they had it alll

One morning when I got in line, real hungry I did feel
So
