Ode to Valentines

Kudzu is green, my dog's name is Blue And I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you.

Yore hair is like cornsilk a-flappin in the breeze. Softer than Blue's And without all them fleas.

You move like the bass, which excite me in May. You ain't got no scales but I luv you anyways.

Yore as graceful as okry jist a-dancin' in the pan. Yore as fragrent as SunDrop right out of the can.

You got all yore teeth, for which I am proud; I hold my head high when we're in a crowd.

On special occasions, when you shave yore armpits, Well, I'm in hawg heaven! I'm plumb outta my wits.

And speakin' of wits, you got plenty fer shore. 'Cuz you married me back in '74.

Still them fellers at work they all wanna know, What I did to deserve such a purty, young doe.

Like a good roll of duct tape yore there fer yore man. To patch up life's troubles and stick 'em in the can.

Yore as strong as a four-wheeler racin' through the mud. Yet fragile as that sanger named Naomi Judd.

Yore as cute as a junebug a-buzzin' overhead. You ain't mean like no far ant upon which I oft' tread.

Cut from the best pattern like a flannel shirt of plaid, You sparked up my life like my rattletrap shad.

When you hold me real tight like a padded gunrack, My life is complete; ain't nuttin' I lack.

Yore complexion is perfection, Like the best vinyl sidin'. Despite all the years, yore age, it keeps hidin'.

And when you get old like a '57 Chevy, Won't put you on blocks and let grass grow up heavy.

Me 'n' you is like a Moon Pie with a cold RC drank.

We go together like a skunk goes with stank.

Some men, they buy choclit for Valentine's Day. They git it at Wal-mart, its romantic that way.

Some men git roses on that special day. From the cooler at Winn-Dixie "That's impressive", I say.

Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth. "Diamonds are furever ," they explain, suave and couth.
But for this man, honey, these will not do. Fur you are too special you sweet thang you.

I got you a gift without taste or odor.
Better than diamonds, its a new trollin' motor.
