<Miss dealer after washing red dust off my entire being>

<ROTFLMAF>

Tears in my eyes partly from respect for the porch anthem but mostly because of pride.....pride that one so close to us all can publish such eloquent literary pieces.

Please! Please! Polvie would you play that athem one more time? "Hit It"

This old porch is like a big old red and white Hereford bull
Standing under a mesquite tree
Out in Agua Dulce
And he just keeps on playing hide and seek
With that hot August sun
Just a-sweatin' and a-pantin'
Cause his work is never done
And this old porch is like a steaming, greasy plate of enchiladas
With lots of cheese and onions
And a guacamole salad
And you can get'em down at the LaSalle Hotel
In old downtown
With iced tea and a waitress
And she will smile every time
And this old porch is the Palace walk-in
On the main street of Texas
That's never seen the day
Of G and R and Xs
With that '62 poster
That's almost faded down
And a screen without a picture
Since Giant came to town
And this old porch is like a weathered, gray-haired
Seventy years of Texas
Who's doing all he can
Not to give in to the city
And he always takes the rent late
So long as I run his cattle
And he picks me up at dinnertime
And I listen to him rattle
He says the Brazos still runs muddy
Just like she's run all along
And there ain't never been no cane to grind
The cotton's all but gone
And you know this brand new Chevrolet
Hell it was something back in '60
But now there won't nobody listen to him
'Cause they all think he's crazy
And this old porch is just a long time
Of waiting and forgetting
And remembering the coming back
And not crying about the leaving
And remembering the falling down
And the laughter of the curse of luck
From all of those passerbys
Who said we'd never get back up
This old porch is just a long time
Of waiting and forgetting
And remembering the coming back
And not crying about the leaving
And remembering the falling down
And the laughter of the curse of luck
From all of those sons-of-bitches

Now I can go on about my day!!!!!!!!!!
Good Day!

Polvito mio, dust mite extraordinaire, ruff-cuff bringer of signs and songs:

That was great! That's up there with Voltaire's rants. I think we'd better start the Porch Clubhouse, to post the classic posts on this porch, now don't you think????

Polvie, you're smart, I got a question. See Uncle Frank over there chatting up his buddies? How come he has to get as rich as a fiber-swilling filthy-rich adolescent hunk in order for his wife to go get a boy-toy? That's what he told me last night. I'm confused. Will ya get back to me on that?

Nice post, Polvie; pass the mushrooms, please.

Redneck? Hell, I'm from San Jose. Must be the truck.
