Southern LifePosted
If you want a glimpse of Southern life, Come close and walk with me ; I'll tell you all the simple things, That you are sure to see. You'll see mockingbirds and bumblebees, Magnolia blossoms and dogwood trees, Caterpillars on the step; Wooden porches cleanly swept; Watermelons on the vine, Strong majestic Georgia pines; Rocking chairs and front yard swings, Junebugs flying on a string; Turnip greens and hot cornbread, Coleslaw and barbecue; Fried okra,fried corn, fried green tomatoes, Fried pies and pickles, too. There's ice cold tea that's syrupy sweet, And cool green grass beneath your feet; Catfish nipping in the lake, And fresh young boys on the make. You'll see all these things And much, much more In a way of life that I adore. Copyright 2008 Patricia Neely-Dorsey MY BOOKPosted
