Billy Bob, I tell ya, buddy it's the same ol' worn out tune: Master's got but one word, Bubba, only one word: Coon, Coon, Coon! "Don't chase squirrels an' don't chase rabbits, leave thet fox an' sheep alone, Wait until yew spy a coon, boy!" Coons is all he's ever known. I got talents undiscovered, thangs 'bout me he never knowed, I wuz meant fer better thangs, Bub, bin thet way since I wuz growed. "I growed yew fer treein' coons, boy, an' thet's all I 'spect ta see... Don't go sniffin' them blamed rabbits, hares don't mean a thang ta me." Bubba, I feel so dang wasted, he's ignorin' me, I swear, I got moves thet he ain't seen yet, he don't know an' he don't care. I kin sniff out whut's the difference 'tween a coyote an' a fox, But the Master thanks I'm useless, dumber than a box of rocks! Sumday I will git my propers: a blue ribbon ~ trophy cup, I'll sniff out a white-tailed deer, I'll dress 'er out an' serve 'er up! When he finds how good thet deer tastes he'll be sorry, wait an' see, If he's not I'll git a collar, tie him nekkid to a tree... Then I'll go an' git sum hunny, pore it on thet big buffoon, Stick fried chicken twixt his toes-like, then call sweetly: Coon! Coon!! Coon!!! ~ Connie ~ Did you ever walk into a room and forget why you walked in? I think that's how dogs spend their lives. ~ Sue Murphy ~ |

About the Poet
IN MEMORIAM
I'm just a servant of the Lord that wants to magnify Him
through poetry,
and to cause others to focus on Him.
