Lost In the Backwods

Took a trip off the beaten path. Nothing modern in site. Knee deep in the woods and to scared to laugh. Blew a tire. Met some dude that said something about my mouth. He did admire. So I ran in fear. Till no longer him and his brothers dueling banjo I could no longer hear. So deep in the forest far from the city and familiar hoods. Somebody save me. Cause im lost in the backwoods. Screamed like a girl when something moved near me. Didnt realize it was a rabbit. Now im stuck up a dam tree. Hit the ground running screaming like a banshee. Thorns in my side twiggs in my hair. Tore my britches. And left something expossed I really wish wasnt bare. I herd a voice yell fool I fixed your flat tire. I felt like a moron hiding in poisen ivy. With my skin on fire. Looking like a half naked wildman I stummbled back to my car. Threw the guy a tweenty and said. Now point me to the closest bar.

I think the movie "Deliverance" inspired you, John. Good bit of humor thinking of you stuck in a tree because a rabbit frightened you. Then there's the poison ivy. After an experience like this, I'd head for the bar too! Great poem. What a storyteller you are!
