Southern Style

If ya'll are from the South
then your sure appreciate
this little story
'bout a neighbors farm estate

A farm estate is valued dear
with trees, weeds and shrub
usually with a fence a'bout
all propted up with hubs

Well...thats okay I reckon
they do the best they kin
besides...dogs keep the grass beat down
...laying all a'round...
the junkers, round a'bout
with sacks and sacks of alum'inum cans
...smash..ed cans...yeah!

Yeah, it's quite a life down South
watching nature grow,
where a lawnmover is a lux-uary
...that's what them cans are for!

A mechanics paradise!
the pay, not so grand
the parts are a plentyfull
Ya'll come now, when ya can!

Alle'cram......

        Excellent!!!!!!! There's a lot of
realism went into this piece, take it from
one with Southern roots!!

             Enjoyed it thoroughly!!


Life is but a dream...
