My Favorite Classic T.V. Show

A classic t.v. show that I thought

was fun and silly.

Was one I watched as a child: 

“The Beverly Hillbillies.”

There was Jed.  Granny.

 Jethro and Elly May too.

You just didn’t know what these

 folks were going to do!

Granny would offer possum pie

 or some “vittles.”

There was no tellin’ what she was

 fixin’ in her griddle!

This family would “dance a jig.” 

Or even “sing a song.

And then they would all gather around

 “the cement pond.”

It didn’t seem to matter what was served

on the dinner plate.

Ole Jethro would never get full. 

No matter how much he ate!

Elly loved to have her many

 animals in the home.

No matter where she went. 

She was never alone!

This Clampett family brought joy

 through our t.v.

I still watch this show... 

But just occasionally.

This classic show is from

 a time long in the past.

But it still brings good memories

 that will always last!
