Wow, this poem is short but it says a lot in Hillbilly words. I like it. lol


-
A very funny red-neck twist on the wine, women, and song theme. Best of luck in my contest, and thanks for entering.


-
ah it took me awhile to figure out the very last sentence but when i did i laughed, haha.
yeehaw, lol thanks for entering, -
odd thats all i can say
-
read the idiot filter clause at the bottom of my contest, please.
But this is pretty damn hilarious.

-
I can understand it, kinda haha, its like the game that takes a saying and stretches it out into sounds and different words, took me a few tries but very good
!
thane kiss for int or ing an duh goo duh luk en ma con tess tuh!!!
i tried haha -
I like it... shooting dear...
guess youve heard this then
"what do you call a deer with no eyes?
no idea
what do you call a deer with no eyes and no balls?
no farkin idea
what do you call a deer with no eyes, no balls and no legs?
still no farkin idea....
and Im guessing Rheea below me needs to take some chill pills and lighten up a little... seems them southern gals are easy to wind up huh

-
grrrrrrrrrrrr better than being a Northern shrill whine person who can be heard three blocks away.
Louisiana you are from Louisiana .. I burst into laughter.. I'll take my molasses accent over you fast talking ways any old day Bill. -
well, uh, hahah, i can't even really understand it, and i haven't seen either of those movies so maybe i'm missing something
i'm not sure whether this counts as chat-speak or just a dialect, after reading it a few more times, i was sort of able to translate. thanks for entering -
hahaha this cracks me up cuz i can see a southern person saying this...
smart write. -
Confusing, but interesting.
-
Well sadly I hear this all the time anymore and still have a hard time understand half of it...had to read it a few times to get it...but very well written in form to the prompt.
Thank you for sharing!

Wow. I can 't read it, but I will take your word for it.

-

Pretty darn funny if I do say so myself!Never seen Deliverance but I'm from Georgia so I'm familiar with the country slang and I love it!Don't have a southern accent myself....always wish I had one though.No need for translations but it took a few moments to get what it said,hahaha!Thank you for entering my contest!
Best Wishes

Being from Georgia...yes, I know the dialect
but I've also had a tough time deciphering a few Louisiana coon-asses too in my time. "Onhouhn well I declare." lol nice write, and best of luck competing.


-
...haha...brilliant...I love phonetic writing...
...as much as you probably wanted it to be American redneck style I read it as drunkern Scottish...sorry but being British whenever I try and do American accents they all sound silly and fake...but absolutely loved it...unlike anything yet seen before (but a lot of people have done that) and at the same time you retain your original culture...I don't care how much other people might dislike the fact they can't read it...I love cracking something complex...

I lived in Georgia for several years when I was a Tree Surgeon. I don't think I ever got far enough back in the woods to hear this dialect. This was quite creative Thank you for entering my contest.


-
Nice! The spelling was half the enjoyment of this piece. I actually had to think about what I was reading...cute and funny.
-
yur hed once fixt!

Nye spome!

Interesting. I did have a bit of trouble making it out until I read it out loud. Quite unique. I see this won for worst poem ever. I can see why it would be a contender. Congratulations {?) on that trophy and thanks.
-
Admittedly, I had a very hard time reading this. It was even harder to try and relate it to my contest's topic, but I think I can see a vague relation (and I hate to DQ) so you stay. It's very cleverly done, reminds me of "Eye have aye spell chequer" if you've ever read that.
Good work, best of luck, and God Bless!

Seems you have gotten many awards due to the fact that most do not want to admit they cannot read it. So it must be something special. Just admit it, you had your fingers on the wrong keys while typing this. lol Ok, I guess it might be pig latin, I will have to ask a pig latin interpreter to analyze this for me and I will get back with a better comment. What a gutsy written idea and it must be dirty/pretty for I am feeling quite ugly just trying to decipher it.

OK Ok, I get it, it is a backwoods southern draw kind of tone about shootin a deer and a kitty I think is involved here too. LOL -
I have no idea what you are trying to say. But best of luck anyway.
-
I'm known for knowing a lot of languages but what the heck, germen, dutch, something weird?
mh...this will be a eeew category, thats worth 15 points


-
OMG this was torture WTG i hadda read this thang like 4 times b4 i got it! lots of poo her. you totally ignored creative thought an broke it down to basic stuffs an didnt even end it with something that had any thing to do with the rest Awesome. totally twisted which actually cost you poo because it got fun to read after i sang it in my head. plus the difficulty level of writing it cost you poo too so on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst poem possible
