I overheard,
But I wasn't sure.
A redneck, you said?
Now that's absurd.
You like a redneck
I heard you say.
He asked you out
The other day.
No way, I said.
He's too old, besides,
You don't listen to country.
That's for redneck guys.
He rides bulls
And he goes to rodeos.
He kisses your feet
And sucks your toes.
He drives a 4x4.
He likes spam.
Sometimes he even
Says 'Yes, ma'am.'
He likes mountain oysters,
And he likes home brew.
He doesn't know the meaning
Of the word tennis shoe.
He's sweet and kind,
And respectful to a tee.
He loves my daughter.
That's good enough for me.

Nice writing. Very sweet. Good luck!

This was awesome. I myself am a redneck. I live in a small town, and I think I'll always be a small town girl. I liked this how you saw past all the dirt and grime and looked deeper and realized that maybe this guy isn't all that bad and as long as he's kind to your daughter nothing else matters. Beautiful write.

Yes, this is a sweet simple poem that is like the salt of the Earth. I love your style, unique and so simple, yet true and precious. I try and write like this too, notice I said "try." Excellent, just like the other one about your Grandson. Great job, and you deserve applause. Best Wishes too.

I could hear this poem in a Country and Western song. It was really good and light hearted I enjoyed reading it. This was totally Country which I love.
-
Thanks so much for commenting. I'm not really sure what a redneck is supposed to be, but my daughter's boyfriend says he's one. And if they're all like him, they must be good people.
