Love is:
Being mauled by a Quaker Bear


I been mauled by a Quaker Bear
I was run over by a midnight train
And onced I had myself a surgery in my brain…

No, I ain’t had no time fer lovin…
No time fer pertendin’ with them women folk…
No sir!
I’m superpoor man, and they ain’t no woman
Wants a superpoor man….

They be wantin’ a new car, and a new house
With indoor plummin’   HA!
What they think?I got me a money tree?

No thank you mammozell…
You can take yer dog-gone high falutin’
Idears and go straight to
Hades…(G-rated)

I be a livin just fine-and-dandy
Me and my old huntin’ dog fetch…

Yes-sir-re-bob… That there lovie-dovie stuff
Is a might near too complicated fer me…

I’ll just sit here on my front porch
Playin’ my gittar and rockin’ in my ol chair…

HA!
Love is fer them darn bugs…

And so this tells me now that you're living with love, my friend - unconditional love!
Thanks for the chucke though - enjoyed the read!

Thanks all...
Just gotta show my true self...
Heehee...

iliana:  Yeah, those are the ones.  Won't be long they will be all over the place!
Have to wash my truck every other day!  I hate that!

Again, thanks for letting the real me show through.
