You know how it is. A line or two goes through your mind, and the next thing you know, you try to make sense out of it. Now, I’m a laid back country girl at heart. I had a few thoughts one lazy afternoon, and this was the result. Not a formal rhythm or rhyme, but fun, just the same.
Redneck Ramblins
I like wine – ‘specially the kind
in my neighbor’s shed (that the feds won’t find!).
The tasseled rows her husband grows
are sorghum for molasses ( a kitchen staple –
forget Aunt Jemima or Maple).
Got three dogs, four cats, a collection of gimmee caps
that say GO HOGS, I Luv My Truk, and John Deere,
and I can’t get enough of that Razorback stuff -
if it’s red, just send it right here.
My favorite trip ain’t cool, it ain’t hip,
but come sit with me by the river and sip
some of that wine.
I get my hair done once a year just for fun,
in the meantime a ponytail works fine.
The work’s real hard in my big back yard
where critters come to the creek to drink –
And when a big-eyed doe brings her fawn out to show,
it’s all worth it,
don’tcha think?
You can speculate on what’s really me…
Was it Muscatine wine?
Thanks, Rita!
I enjoyed this! Your right sometimes it just comes rolling in and I don’t know where it comes from!!!!
