Poem From Dixie To The Old Timer

Poem To The Old Timer From Dixie
Dear Elbert, Since your birthday's rolled around I've been doing lots of pondering About all the things I've learned from you And I began to wondering Should I jot down a few of these things I've learned so that I won't forget them before the page is turned? Let's see....... I learned the southern language truly is an art And teaching it to others, you surely do your part. So many things I won't forget I wish I could name them all there is one thing you'd like to do That's drink a glass of colesterol. They tell you that they take it out To try and help to heal you But you'd drink it up in one big "gulp" To prove that it won't kill you. You've ask around at all the stores But there's no help a'tall Seems like nobody's got a glass of Colesterol! Then there's the time you went to jail You were not a real good sport But you said your peace and got locked up For being in contemp of court. And there's your plan to turkey hunt In your lime green leisure suit A boat paddle to whack his head And a pellet gun to shoot! The hanging judge who rides in town I can see him through the fog Riding on his big black horse Followed by his dog. You'd go to jail for any crime And when the judge rides round If you're in jail when he arrives You surely will go down! You said that we are truely blessed If we can count on just one hand The people we can count on To call you a good friend The good times that we all have shared I hope they never end. For now I'll keep on listening Happy Birthday My Good Friend From: Dixie
P.S. And Christmas at the Wright house I know just how you felt When Ramey opened up his gift And Got Another Belt!!
This is a poem written for the Old Timer on his birthday from Dixie Jones
