Three Tribes

‘‘Twas in those mountains of south Scillies lived three tribes, first was the silly Bybillies, men wear fancy frocks, women wear frillies second of the tribes were tough big bullies, they were known as mountain Blowbillies so tough they eat tons of red hot chillies, third of the tribes grew roses and tiger lilies this friendly group best known as Hillbillies, wild and free never visited any big cities one night all three tribes met at uncle willies he had the very best barn and good facilities, sadly a fight broke out between Blowbillies Hillbillies and Bybillies caused awful activities, Bybillies ate all the Blowbillies red hot chillies, Blowbillies were all wearing frocks and frillies, Hillbillies were all smelling of roses and lilies. 5/8/2018

Thanks Jan, I wanted to enter this contest but did find it difficult which is possibly a good thing taxing the old gray matter so not expecting to make a placement, thanks again for your support much appreciated. :))
