<p>Well, it's been a long time. :) We've had a lot go on, but finally managed to visit my friend.</p>
<p>My mom and I went on a mini-vacation last week and we visited my sister and some long-time friends of ours. I finally gave the poem to my best friend before we left since I wanted to give it to her in person. She started tearing up a little bit and was very touched! There were many hugs. :) She really appreciated it! So, thank you so so so much for helping write it! It really came out…</p>

<p></p>
<h1 align="center"><strong><u><font face="Comic Sans MS">A Redneck Luv Poem</font></u></strong></h1>
<p style="text-align: center;">Collards are green, my dog's named Blue</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yore hair is like corn silk a-flapping in the breeze.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> Softer than Blue's and without all them fleas.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You move like the bass, which excite me in May.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You ain't got no scales but I luv you anyway.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yo're as satisfy'n as okra jist a-fry'n in the pan.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yo're as fragrant as "snuff" right out of the can.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You got some of yore teeth, for which I am proud;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I hold my head high when we're in a crowd.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">On special occasions, when you shave under yore arms,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">well, I'm in hawg heaven, and awed by yore charms.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Still them fellers at work, they all want to know,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">what I did to deserve such a purdy, young doe.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Like a good roll of duct tape yo're there fer yore man,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to patch up life's troubles and fix what you can.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yo're as strong as a four-wheeler racin' through mud,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yet fragile as that sanger named Naomi Judd.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yo're as cute as a junebug a-buzzin' overhead.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You ain't mean like those fire ants I found in my bed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Cut from the best cloth like a plaid flannel shirt,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">you spark up my life more than a fresh load of dirt .</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When you hold me real tight like a padded gunrack,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">my life is complete; ain't nuthin' I lack.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yore complexion, it's perfection, like the best vinyl sidin',</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">despite all them years, yore age it keeps hidin'.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And when you get old like a '63 Chevy,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I won't put you on blocks and let grass grow up heavy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie with a RC cold drank,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">we go together like a skunk goes with stank.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And if any feller ever treats you other than nice</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I’d be all over ‘em like white on rice.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Some men, they’d buy chocolate for this special day;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">They git it at Wal-Mart, it's romantic that way.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Some men would git roses in a big 'ole bouquet</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">from the cooler at Kroger. "That's impressive," I say.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Diamonds are forever," they explain, suave and couth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">But for this man, honey, these thing jest won't do.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Cause yo’re way too special, you sweet thang you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I got you a gift, without taste nor odor,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">more useful than diamonds . . . it’s a new trollin’ motor!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
