Short Hillbillies Poems

TV's sure changed a lot since the sixties
From I Love Lucy to The Beverly Hillbillies
Oh for the innocence
Andy Griffith for instance
But a whole lot better than today's weirdies...

i walk in a hillbillies shoes
collecting old junk cars
to put as yard ornaments
infront of my double-wide trailer
my x-mas lights stay on all year long
along with the cheech and chong dingle balls
draped around my doorway...

Hillbillies got a dairy cow and trained it up right
It mooed and bellowed all through the first night
Drank some moonshine and did a crazy petootsie dance.
So silly and funny, the fireflies flitted and flew as if in a trance....

His sophistry made sense to the hillbillies who were listening
They ran out and told it as if it was gospel
Because to them, it was
They had no idea he was a conman.
They thought he was an honest man,
but alas, they were tricked by his tomfoolery....

Milburn Drysdale was an avaricious banker.
On the show, he was very funny.
If he lost consciousness, he didn't need smelling salts.
All he had to do was smell some money.

based on the television show "The Beverly Hillbillies".

Her elegant art nouveau staircase was designed by Ede Magyar
We had never seen such a beautiful fixture in the town of McLar
We ran over right away to take pictures and ooh and awe over it.
Some hillbillies brought in mud, and the hostess had a huge fit....

Hill, By and Blow - the three Billies brothers
Were constantly fighting each other
Hill was the oldest
Blow was the boldest
By was the baby by another mother

Please pontificate a little louder
I can already tell what dullards you think we are the child said.
Pleased, the puffed up politician began barking even more loudly.
Louder! The child yelled. LOUDER!
His voice went us six octaves.
Obviously a non-reader, another child said
We hillbillies laughed....

Three wild frolicking hairy unkempt hillbillies
Jettisoning off their wonderful new pet
Doing banshee yells and hog calls
Happily playing with their newest mate
Where is Piggy? They asked Mom.
Until sundown they looked for him.
Pretty soon they smelled sweet sauce.
Beside themselves with grief, ate barbeque....

The cake was sitting too close to the steak
The steak was done well, which was a mistake
The cake began melting, and the candles fell off
Worse yet, said grandma, your uncle gave it a cough

We had been digging around in the leavings by then
Scooping up frosting and pieces, my heart and my kin.
The prissy ones stopped, which left more for the rest of us.
We are Tennessee hillbillies who get around in a bus....

Do you remember the Beverly Hillbillies?
When Jed shot the ground,
Oil produced without a sound,
They capped that up quick,
They didn’t even damage the fish,

So tell me,
If a bunch of hillbillies,
Came together,
Could they stop a leak?
That seems to go on forever,

Black gold gushing in our waters,
Damage from below,
Ever getting worst,
And no one is taking control,
With all the technology,
And all the great minds,
We cannot figure out,
How to cap a pipe????
