I'm on the internet
Click on Southern Comfort
Cause that's who I am

And I'm a little more than slightly disappointed
When all I see
Is Hip-Hop and R&B

Don't get me wrong
I love those genres as they are
But are those really
The number one southern stars?

Is that really what southern comfort is?
Cause I think it's
Sittin' on the front porch in a large wicker chair
Drinkin' iced tea and watchin' the sun go down
Maybe that's just me
Or maybe I just don't get out much

But I'm just a simple southern girl
Who knows what it's like
In a simple southern world
Free spirited and classy
Loud-mouthed and bossy
Yep, that's who I am

And If I could hear one song
Talk about my Sweet Ft. Walton
Or Gorgeous Georgia
Then I'd be happy
Then they'd actually be singin'
Some sweet southern comfort  
To me

sorry, i fell asleep at my computer last nite and i did so much want to write. i tracked back in time to some of your earlier poetry...this one "sweet southern comfort" attracted my attention on two levels. one, it did not convey emotional pain and suffering only a longing...an attainable longing! i was able to identify with that...time enables us to suppress pain but never the suffering! the second level of interest in the poem was the strangeness of the words that should be ending in the letter "g" and each place in the poem where an apostrophe should have been used but was replaced by some unconventional symbols. i was wondering if this was intentional or if it was some type of viral attacthment to the poem. also, noticed the symbols in the poem "wings to fly(in you)".

to every happening there is a cause and an effect. i wonder why?

   the long drawn out whistle of a train
   makes me lonely,
   not in daytime
   but nitetime, only!
   heartache,separation and a yearning cry,
   deep within my heart
   an echo!
   i wonder why?
