ODE TO A REDNECK VALENTINE
> Kudzu is green,
> my dog's name is Blue
> And I'm so lucky
> to have a sweet thang like you.
>
> Yore hair is like cornsilk
> A-flapping in the breeze.
> Softer than Blue's
> And without all them fleas.
>
> You move like the bass,
> Which excite me in May.
> You ain't got no scales
> But I luv you anyway.
>
> You're as graceful as okry
> Jist a-dancin' in the pan.
> Yo're as fragrant as SunDrop
> Right out of the can.
>
> You have all yore teeth,
> For which I am proud;
> I hold my head high
> When we're in a crowd.
>
> On special occasions,
> When you shave yore armpits,
> Well, I'm in hawg heaven,
> I'm plumb outta my wits.
>
> And speakin' of wits,
> You've got plenty fer shore.
> 'Cuz you married me
> Back in '74.
>
> Still them fellers at work
> They all want to know,
> What I did to deserve
> Such a purty, young doe.
>
> Like a good roll of duct tape
> Yo're there fer yore man,
> To patch up life's troubles
> And stick 'em in the can.
>
> Yo're as strong as a four-wheeler
> Racin' through the mud,
> Yet fragile as that sanger
> Named Naomi Judd.
>
> Yo're as cute as a junebug
> A-buzzin' overhead.
> You ain't mean like no far ant
> Upon which I oft' tread.
>
> Cut from the best pattern
> Like a flannel shirt of plaid,
> You sparked up my life
> Like a Rattletrap shad.
>
> When you hold me real tight
> Like a padded gunrack,
> My life is complete;
> Ain't nuttin' I lack.
>
> Yore complexion, it's perfection,
> Like the best vinyl sidin'.
> Despite all the years,
> Yore age, it keeps hidin'.
>
> And when you get old
> Like a '57 Chevy,
> Won't put you on blocks
> And let grass grow up heavy.
>
> Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie
> With a RC cold drank,
> We go together
> Like a skunk goes with stank.
>
> Some men, they buy chocolate
> For Valentine's Day;
> They git it at Wal-Mart,
> It's romantic that way.
>
> Some men git roses
> On that special day
> From the cooler at Kroger.
> "That's impressive," I say.
>
> Some men buy fine diamonds
> From a flea market booth.
> "Diamonds are forever,"
> They explain, suave and couth.
>
> But for this man, honey,
> These will not do.
> For you are too special,
> You sweet thang you.
>
> I got you a gift,
> Without taste nor odor,
> Better than diamonds
> it's a new ridin' mower.
