That Lngjohn said he's from the North,
but it wasn't always so.
He used to stomp around the South
with the "good ol' boys" ya know.

I often heard my mama say,
"You can take the Billy out the hill."
"But no matter what you try to do
ya can't take the hilly out the Bill."

Now in the North the winter time
can be a bugger-bear.
With winds to knock ya to your knees
and snow way up to there.

Now, Lngjohn sat one night with Ma,
as they watched the evening news.
They said a snow storm was a' coming
and here's what ya need to do.

Go out and move your car tonight
to the even side of the street.
So that when the snowplows barrel through
they can leave it nice and neat.

Lngjohn did as he was told
and moved his car real fast.
And the snow storm dropped 10 inches
a'fore it blew itself right past.

A few nights passed and once again
Lngjohn watched the weatherman.
He said a snowstorm's on its way.
move ya car, quickly as you can.

This time put it on the odd side
so the plows can take away.
Any remnants of the snow we got
that was dropped the other day.

Lngjohn did as he was told
and moved his car real fast.
And just as he was finished
he felt the fury of winter blast.

The winter was a draggin'
the storms kept rollin in.
And just a few days rolled around
when he heard the news again.

A big storm is a blowin'
20 inches of snow the newsman said.
And just as he was givin instructions
the T.V. set went dead.

Oh Ma, I need to move the car, but
which side of the street?" he cried.
"Well said Ma, if'n ya leave it in the garage,
I reckon it will be all right inside.

Remember me with a smile on your face, or please don't remember me at all.

Ohhhhh, Lucie *shaking my head in despair*  How could you do this to ol' lovable me?

You know, I thought your poem was great, And...I thought the story was too,
Please move your possessions to my home state,
Where I can get my hands on you!

Though you've rattled my cage about my attire,
And you've sullied my fine, good name.
Oh, Lucie, your words still set me afire,
So, I could never hold you to blame.

You are safe within your Freedom of Speech,
And I've got some good news for you,
Freedom of Religion is within your reach,
You'll need it when we get through.

If you could come closer, my Lucie dear,
And turn on your feminine charms,
I assure you, you'd have nothing to fear,
So there is no reason for alarm.

For while you've hurt me with your mirth,
And your words have pierced me through,
There's very few people on this earth,
I could like any more than you.

Yeah Lucie, there’s guys like this I know
Don’t know their ears from their toes
Go round kicking kitties for fun
Keepin their mama’s on the run
No clue where to put their pickup truck
Short on brains, but long on luck
Good thing you tell it like it is
You’d better stick around here miss

Good one Lucie. I like it

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Lucie,
Whether it is truth or a joust,
About him comin' from the south.
He thinks his name you did defame,
But he's the one that has no shame.

A little fun the poke of his goose,
And his response is to try to seduce.
I like that you can give him what for,
And I would vote you do it even more.

Fun write girl. This needs a bump!
