Hello Alabama

 

It’s me again,

Your ole' buddy--

At least that’s what I've been called.

 

What’s the news on the football team?

Apparently they made it to nationals again this year.

And guess what?

They’ll be competing again for the one hundred and twenty first  time.


That's one hundred and twenty one shots times ten.

The footballs patriots drink theirs canned.

 

And let’s not forget your Southern Charm,

Please and thank you.

I had the pleasure of being subjected to this:

When my boss fired me at work the other day,

I said please, and then my boss told me thank you.



Of course, no one should forget about our Civil Rights accomplishments.

2013 well be fifty years since they hosed black metropolis.

Political empathy perspired posthumously.

 

Maybe in another fifty, we can reflect on today.

I’m sure there will be plenty-few corporate sponsors--

And sales while they’re at it.

This should alleviate mom and pop’s burden of having to go out and choose where to shop.

You know they like it old-fashioned.

 

Thanks for the nostalgia Alabama,

You get me stoned and hammered every time.
