Them Thar Roses are Dead.
By Richard Maxfield
3-13-2000

Then thar roses are dead
My truck is blue
I was a wonten to say
I love you

You can cut bait
Or gut a fish
Your all that I wont
More than I wished

Your cheeks are red
As ripe tomatterss
Not nearly as mean
As pissed off gater

Your hair is so fine
The color is yeller
All mine friends say
Im one lucky feller

Your hind quarters purdyer
Than my gray mules butt
When you stand just right
I cant hardly see your gut

Y-Your skin is like
Fresh churned milk
Just a few dents
The rest is like silk

With most of your teeth
I shore am proud
Cause people always stair
When we are in a crowd

The way you smell
I cant rightly say
It is only stronger
At the end of the day

Your so smart
Clean through the fourth grade
With an sweet heart like you
A fellers got it made

I shore am glad
That you are mine
So very purdy
Urine a find

Last line was a bit puzzling, but the rest was durn funny!

ill do anything for a Rc and a moonpie
the lit'le girl said
if i can take your boots off
and take that hat off your head

dont mess with my teased hair do
as long as you ruffle my skirt
and help me off with these shoes

ill be you're valentine
ill  luv ya ..all the time
help me pick some cotton
wheres that swig of moonshine?

pick me up in you're truck
and shoot gosh if you dont
ill be plum mad..if you're late
or you wont
just give me that moonpie
ill do anything for you
dont tell my hubby jake
or ill tell your're little wife too

I confess, I passed this one by for awhile, because..lol...you brought up still another memory for me...yep. Valentine's Day...

But I am glad that I read, I thought this hilarious...and trust me, I won't be passing you by again. Total fun!!!
