Good Ole' Boy


I got a four-door Silverado, and it’s painted black,
Just a good ole boy, detailed front-to-back

Rambling rebel,
Freeway, ninety-to-hell
My flag’s a-been a flying way up there,
About, in that dusty air of my rearview
The fun don’t start a-playing
Till’ you get them rollers stirred

Off-road, on-course
Mud-flaps, of course,
Spinning out and jumping mounds
This damn beast here can do so much more than drive

Branch and bark, part the path
When they see my grill, Chrome’s a-come hunkerin’ down
Trouncing brush at dawn and trampling root at night
Nature coughs to my delight

I got a four-door Silverado, and it’s painted black,
Just a good ole boy, detailed front-to-back

 Just a bit on the lighter side today.  Ever since the Diverse Prompt about getting into the mindset of someone else, I've been doing a bunch of smaller sketches, most are steeped in the humor of personality, this is one of those.

  2. Hey, yeah I know how it is. But you're in Virginia, go down a few more states, say south carolina or georgia- it's a religion down there. By the way, where in VA are you about- Near Richmond- That's where one of my favorite bands are from-just curious

  3. haha thank god I have no good old boys like this around, that would just be a scary sight, they can take their trucks and stay away from me. haha such fun to describe them though. Seen a few growing up though in a small town and yeah they were rather large and thought they were in charge..haha

  5. Hi Fred - I wanted to invite you to the Poetry Crit/Discussion Group I've been running for over a year and a half now... we just moved to a great new site.. basically it's somewhere you can feel comfortable enough to post your work and get constructive feedback/crit on it ... we all learn from each other... boy I learnt more there than in all those years at college. Plenty of familiar faces too. If you are interested you'd be more than welcome. Here's the link -
