~ Just a country Hick ~

With a population of only eight hundred here
Traffic jams are non existent and would be real queer
Our local cop drinks in the pub quite often you see
He's always on vacation...great job you would agree

 

Oh but I must now brag, Boort has the choice of TWO pubs
Unlike those city folk who have all their fancy clubs
We think we really have it made... and we surely do
Staggering home from the pub when we've had quite a few

 

The middle of the road makes an ideal place to walk
When you've over indulged and can hardly even talk
Weaving up the middle of the road that leads to home
Wishing that your house did have some sort of radar dome

 

Can you imagine doing this in a big city
With all those cars wizzing by, it would not be pretty
Living in such a small town has its ups and its downs
But when you stagger home pissed from the pub no one frowns

 

We don't even have public transport to get around
Giving locals a ride home...our local cop's renowned
Give me a small town any day...cities you can stick
I'm blissfully happy being a country born hick

    I love this piece and I have to agree that there is nothing like the quietness and solitude of the country to clear ones mind....that is until you get to the local pub. lol!!!!!!!! I spent my childhood in the country but have lived in the city for most of my life now. One day, we hope to get back out there. Sounds like your town is a wonderful place to be and be able to stagger home without having to worry about some maniac making you into a pancake must be something. I really thought this flowed quite well and the rhyme and rythm were wonderful and I thank you for entering.

    Wonderful I can just see you walkling down the middle of that road! But seriously it's a much more easygoing lifestyle down the country.
    This gave me a good laugh and great imagery
    All the best with this
