ON A HILL IN TENNESSEE (c) Copyright 2007 by Earl F. Hubbard Jr.
(from ON THE ROAD, AGAIN - coming whenever it gets done.)
"HOWDY, NEIGHBOR, HOWDY!"
is what she said to me,
as I stepped into the outhouse,
on a hill in Tennessee.
Her name was Passion's Promise,
She blew us all a kiss,
She had a lovely daughter,
who's name was Endless Bliss.
They had come from Texas,
to party with their kin,
to fill their heads and bellies,
with Uncle Billy's gin.
"I guess, this isn't Nottingham,
I reckon we are lost,
And we could use a glass or two,
How much does it cost?"
That's what I said to those two babes,
who were hotter than a pyre,
"It will cost another lovely kiss,
IF you can stand the fire!"
OH? Thats what Passion said to me,
and so I gave her two.
Uncle Billy came outside,
and winked at Cara Lou!
"It must be that damn moonshine,
for I know a bus can't fly,
or perhaps it was a twister,
that pulled you through the sky."
OH? That's what Uncle Billy said,
while he took another swig,
as all the children giggled,
for he looked like Porky Pig.
When he saw our instruments,
he invited us to stay,
for the Sunday Hoedown,
with Sister Sue and Preacher Grey.
Michelle went to the outhouse,
with a can of bathroom spray,
But it takes more than a can of Glade,
to BLOW that smell away.
efhjr.

This is the first piece for what will be my 24th book and the third book in my YELLOW BUS of PEACE & LOVE series of books of which I have 4 of planned - if all goes well. As with my LITTLE STAR books - my YELLOW BUS books are meant to be read from the first page to the last like the chapters of a novel.
ENJOY!

Anyone who reads this is gonna have a good laugh.
Pretty funny.
Reads like a mini short story.
You do know the outhouse is the star of this piece????
Loved it.

Very creative.
This is just perfect for those who do not know you have captured the outhouse extreamly well. I enjoyed the part of the girls in this also. Most of the mountain people and a lot of the old timers really enjoued thier moonshine. I tried it just once and it packs a great whollop as well as it burns like fire going down. It is no wonder that they had and enjoyed hoedowns so much, as the moonshine took away the restraint of being shy and they just had fun. I really enjoyed this very much.

Appropriate
Hell"far"!!! You must actually do your owm research to be that accurate with writin'. Just kidding as I had to investgate when I saw Tennesssee in the title. When "humor" was the only label, I knew I had found a winner. I was right!!!!!! I grew up Knoxville, TN and have plenty of my own stories to tell. This was indeed humorous and I asssume you really have a few books out there. Take care, let me know if ever need any local material! Nice job, Rhon
