[FONT=Arial][SIZE=4][COLOR=red]Collards 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-flapping 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 anyway.Yo’re as satisfy’n as okry
Jist a-fry’n in the pan.
Yo’re as fragrant as “snuff”
Right out of the can.You have some’a yore teeth,
For which I am proud;
I hold my head high
When we’re in a crowd.On special occasions,
When you shave under yore arms,
Well, I’m in hawg heaven,
And awed by yore charms.Still them fellers at work,
They all want to know,
What I did to deserve
Such a purdy, young doe.Like a good roll of duct tape
Yo’re there fer yore man,
To patch up life’s troubles
And fix what you can.Yo’re as cute as a junebug
A-buzzin’ overhead.
You ain’t mean like those far ants
I found in my bed.Cut from the best cloth
Like a plaid flannel shirt,
You spark up my life
More than a fresh load of dirt.When you hold me real tight
Like a padded gunrack,
My life is complete;
Ain’t nuttin’ I lack.Yore complexion, it’s perfection,
Like the best vinyl sidin’.
Despite all the years,
Yore age, it keeps hidin’.Me ‘n’ you’s like a Moon Pie
With a RC cold drank,
We go together
Like a skunk goes with stank.Some men, they buy chocolate
For Valentine’s Day;
They git it at Wal-Mart,
It’s romantic that way.Some men git roses
On that special day
From the cooler at Kroger.
That’s impressive,” I say.Some men buy fine diamonds
From a flea market booth.
“Diamonds are forever,”
They explain, suave and couth.But for this man, honey,
These won’t do.
Cause yore too special,
You sweet thang you.I got you a gift,
Without taste nor odor,
More useful than diamonds……
IT’S A NEW TROLL’N MOTOR!![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] -
