A TRIP BACK HOME!
I took my love back home
To meet my kin,
You’ll never guess
What happened then!
Ma was on the front porch,
As was her habit,
Canning beans and knitting,
All while skinning a rabbit,
Pa was out back,
Dancing a jig,
While sharing a jug
With a one-eyed pig,
Things went plum crazy
After that,
My love met Uncle Clem
With his coonskin hat,
Things were jest fine
Til Clem tipped his cap,
And my love saw the raccoon
Was still a living chap!
My love skedaddled,
It’s half past noon,
Tell her I love her
And to come back soon! 😊
