Okay. I REALLY don't know where the idea for this one came up... Just somethin pulled out of my weird mind. Anyway... Thought it was about time for ya'll to see some comedy coming from me. Let me know what ya think!  CITY FOLK JUST DONT BELONG City folk just don't belong Drivin' Fords in the country Wearin' spurrs on your boots While you're riding skateboards City folk just don't belong Fishin' the lake this afternoon Ain't no trees on this lake, Bud Just that there electric fence City folk just don't belong Pickin' corn when the time comes Drivin' a Ferrari to the barn Then jumpin' on your John Deere City folk just don't belong Shootin' a pistol out on the range Hiding your eyes under a stocking cap Paranoia hits when the Sherrif stops by City folk just don't belong Wanderin' around the dairy farms Don't ya'll know how to milk a cow? No, that aint an udder on that bull City folk just don't belong Out here in the farmin' country Just as country folk don't belong Out at all your inner city clubs - Cody - Note To Self: If Pigs Can Fly, So Can I!!! If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid? [This message has been edited by CwboyAtHeart (edited 08-28-2001).] |

I'm the same way as SEA. I lived in a small, hick town and the city. I can skateboard and still fish, drive a John Deere and shoot a gun. Hey, I'm multi-talented. This was a funny poem Jon "Your anger is a gift"-Rage Against The Machine |

I'm the same way... I'm from a small town about 20 minutes from the city, and am very familiar with the country and city at once. Know my place in both environments... Creative outlook, though Cody. Enjoyed, as always. --Marie You think yourself a failure, but perhaps the biggest loss is winning. |

Yep, me too. Lived in San Diego, now in Alabama. Andnow I'm out in the boonies, but just 20 minutes from urban life. an hour if you want big huge city life. haha. Nice write though. Though I HATE the word folks..lol...too redneck for me. ( I have hang-ups...lol..Oh well.) Thanks for the read. It was quite charming. You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did. |

Yeppers, there's the city folk, then there's the country folk, and then there's the middle. While things may seem black and white, there's always that middle gray. Ya know what life is without risks though? The suburbs. Anyways, you made me laugh, congradulations.  Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself. That's what I live by. |

Well I'm a city girl forever. I'd seriously die if someone moved me to the country. The stereotypes are embedded in my brain forever...lol. Nice piece though, Cody. Try not to annoy too many people though. World War 3 may start THEN where will we all be? Yup, laughing 'cause you made it so.  Thanks for sharing. ~AF~ I'm a little teapot, short and stout! Here is my handle, here is my spout. *toot toot* |

The city is just the place to be. City folk are rockin'. Well done on the poem Cody.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Cwboy, I used to live in a small town and now I live on a farm, but get this, the city limits are literally just across the street. I found this very humerous, and I saw a lot of truth in it from my viewpoint as the people that I live across the street from, all are upper income families, whom probably don't have to lift a finger for themselves if they choose not to. I didnt mean to offend anyone here. If I have I am truly sorry. Dawn |

I live in the suburbs on long island...go into NYC, Queens and Brooklyn weekly, and have a summer house upstate in the Adirondacks and im pretty shur i can mold into all of those locations...i see what your getting at in the poem but we have just as much right to be in the country doing w/e it is that we wanna do as country "folk" does in the city...im not offended by this poem or n e thing this was just my thoughts on it...Keep writing |

Cool poem! I'm suburban... I was a city girl when I was little, too much craziness for me tho... and yet, I can't stand having more cows around than ppl.
