Short Hoedown Poems

Mustn't slow down 
	headed crosstown
To a barn made of lodgepole pine.

There's a showdown 
	at the hoedown
Where we dance with cows and swine....

Buttercup Busybody’s behaviors burst beyond belief
Big, buxom, busty, she gave her dour daddy grief
Hosted Hamburger Harry’s Hoedown which featured beef
Eloped with Eddie Eardale, giving her parents some relief....

I once knew an old farmer named Brown
Who was somewhat the neighborhood clown
He twisted animal balloons
While whistling old country tunes
And called squares at the county hoedown.

It's time for a showdown.
I saw him at the hoedown,
flirting with Missy Brown.
No wonder I have a frown. 
He behaves like such a clown
when he's out on the town.
I'll whack him on the crown.
That'll bring him back down
to Earth with a bang!...

Crossing the hoedown lines 
Courteous men tilted hats 
Country cowgirls in skirts 
Corsets set on fire 
Careening to music 
Crystallography,... stop
Calm returns,  silent floor.

August raindrops fall,
nature's brush paints a rainbow,
melody of rain.

golden drops descend,
rainbow hues grace the sky's arc,
August's sweet hoedown


August rain falls light,
paints a vibrant rainbow bright,
nature's sweet delight...

Hast the nature enwrought thou with an angel touch?
Or hast thou arisen from the heavens?
As thy eyes shine like golden stone
As thy voice hue the hoedown
The Gods pledge for thine love
My heart doth rise as thine eyes set upon mine
Thy hazel eyes enwrought my soul with perplexity of love and comfort
I could not wither staring thereon rosy cheeks
Thou hast sup my soul
And my heart wreath around thine......

Sooner than later showdown shutdown
Clampdown lowdown holddown the hoedown

Meltdown shedom found show up get down
Fixed tires all round the showdown

My legs, they started shaking 
And my feet, had started making 
Clonking noises, as I walked, across the floor 

I was trying to get, a little action 
From this woman, with attraction 
So I asked her, before she walked, out of the door 

"Do you think, there is a chance 
That perhaps, you and I can dance 
And perhaps, you and I, will even score 

She said, "I'll meet you at the hoedown 
You and I, will have a showdown 
And we'll dance, our days away, for evermore"...

This here’s a showdown.
It ain’t no hoedown.
No prancing around here like some kind of clown.
This is a test to see who is the best
Who’s got the goods to take everyone down!
Who in the end will wear the gold crown?

I think I’m going to turn this around!
Let’s just be rhymin’ with everyone chimin’
in with each other
like sisters and brothers
from all different mothers.
With harmony smother each other…. Peace out!
