Repetition creates habit. And so... I watched the Labor Day Telethon... Saw Ed... Make a mistake... Heard Jerry say... "Where did you study... North Carolina ?" Laugh Clown Laugh Lawdy, we is a 'flicted folk With several hundred channels and nothing to watch... I landed on " I Love The 70s" With the unrealistic hope that Disco would only receive slight mention. But, Charlie told of the Devil and a Georgia fiddling contest that put Galax Virginia to shame. I heard jokes about... "Who knew...The Devil plays a fiddle?" Laugh Clown Laugh There are those of us Who have always known. But... If you have never been down to the crossroads with your guitar in hand... or... In a cemetery at midnight... playing "Ol' Dan Tucker" (The Devil's Song) How could you know? Laugh Clown Laugh Lawdy, we is a 'flicted folk And... Although, I will admit that a tune with a banjo and a guitar... referred to as "dueling banjos"... may raise some questions... There are some things held as common knowledge. Think it foolish? When a guitar player... or a fiddler... Comes to court... your sister... or your daughter... or your wife... Laugh Clown Laugh Your make-up hides a tear. |

How in the world did THIS get to the bottom of the page without any replies????? I knew PiP doesn't tend to respond to poetic depth, but good grief! This poem is worthy of publication, and I'm bumping it! C'mon folks, get with the program.....poetry is SUPPOSED to be deep. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

XO, I have to admit that "Dueling Banjos" came to mind when I read the title ~ and I was intrigued! lol "Lawdy, we is a 'flicted folk" ~ Ain't that the truth!  "Laugh Clown Laugh Your make-up hides a tear." ~ And ofttimes, it fails to hide that tear. I love the breadth and depth of your writing.

"There are those of us Who have always known." Made me hold breath... and feel a fleeting nostalgia for Nick at Nite. Laudable imagery. |
