Mr. Jerry Reed Hubbard was a native of Atlanta.
That is the biggest city in the Peach State of Georgia.
The people there were proud of their native son.
A few of his songs made Country Billboard’s number one.
A gold record and Grammy Award is what he got
for the best-selling single “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot”.
Many of his songs were funny, and I certainly laughed
when I heard his “She Got the Goldmine, I Got the Shaft”.
We also saw him with Burt Reynolds in the movies
where he warned the Bandit about those pursuing smokeys.
Jerry undoubtedly had a career that was great
until he sadly passed away in 2008.
I thank wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for information I obtained to write this poem.
If you want to drive instead of fly in a plane,
your trip to Florida can start north in Maine.
The quickest and most efficient traveling way,
is via the Interstate-95 highway.
There are plenty of motels and places to eat.
A journey along this thoroughfare is something neat.
Pass New England and New York down the New Jersey Turnpike.
You will see so much scenery to like.
In New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, you have to pay.
However, from Virginia, it is free the rest of the way.
After crossing the middle of North and South Carolina,
you motor along the coast of the Peach State, Georgia.
Before you know it, you arrive in Florida.
The trip in gasoline costs about four tanks.
However, when arriving, you will give thanks.
There are numerous places to have fun.
All year long, there will be warm Florida sun.
