She's my e-mail order bride. When she gets here today, she's gonna know I lied. There ain't no oil wells, down here in Alabam. She's coming on down from New York City, she's a PHD, and gosh she's pretty. She gave up everything, just for my love. She's coming in on the two o:clock plane, She might be expecting a limosine. But I guess I'll pick her up, in my pick-up truck. Maybe I should'a told her my hair fell out, I really did start too but I, chickened out. The picture that I sent her was my, cousin Jim. I can't hardly wait to start a family, I hope the kids are all buck teethed like me. Momma always said it was my best quality. Here she comes now down that big stair case, I wish you could see the look on her face. She's a'smiling like a possum up a big oak tree. Wait a minute now, I ain't sure thats her. She's wearing a dress, but she looks like a sir. I ain't never seen a woman with so much hair. She's my e-mail order bride. When she got here today, I found out she lied. The picture that she sent me, was her cousin Sue. And she ain't really no PHD, I don't think she's no smarter'n me. But I kinda like her pencil thin mustache. Well you know thats been a while back, I don't know how long, it's hard to keep track. But little juniors got my teeth and her mustache. Now we're just as happy as we can be. I love her and she loves me. You can believe me too buddy! Take it to the bank! I'm telling the truth! You know I wouldn't lie! :-) |

Steve...I love it when you let your sense of humor out to play in words. Now, have you showed this poem to your wife??  |

Yeah Martie, She got a kick out of it. We were still using pigions to communicate back then though. :-) |

Now Steven, is that a play on, "it's my story and I'm stickin' to it?" If so, good job! I'd believe you in a NY minute right there, standing on the Brooklyn Bridge ...  Yep, still giggling... |

hahaha Wonderful ! Yes ! Be proud of them teeth. Being able to eat corn on the cob through a picket fence is a special ability. I enjoyed as always. |
