Whatever You Say Dear-It's Hillbilly Love

When I see you in the broad daylight
Your long,ratty beard gives me a fright

You keep critters in there just for play
They won't hurt a thing,you always say

Whatever you say dear,your shotgun's sawed
Pointed at a young feller whose plan is flawed

He played fast and loose,now baby makes three
Whatever you do dear,don't miss and shoot me!

Whatever you say dear, that moonshine will wait
The revenue man's headed for the front gate

There's biscuits and pinto beans cooked on the fire
But first dear would you go make me a swing tire?

Whatever you say dear,need a hickory switch
To whip some young-uns when I know which is which

Whatever you say dear it's a hard life
Ain't all it's cracked up to-bein' your wife!

LOL I'm trying to imagine the critters hiding in his beard. What a funny poem, Deb! Wishing you success in the contest. (Dated a redneck and they are pretty much the same as hillbillies, only they drink whiskey instead of moonshine.) I responded to your Soup mail. Really enjoyed your poem! Love, Carolyn
